This makes me very angry.

I remember how the media portrayed the independence of Zimbabwe,
and installation of Robert Mugabe as it's leader, back in 1980.
The media gave massive coverage ot that event, portraying it in a positive light; making Robert Mugabe out as an African 'George Washington'.
Nothing can be further from the truth!
Robert Mugabe is worse than the average tinpot dictator of a banana republic: He's a murderous, bullying tyrant. He's a racist! He's a TERRORIST! He's terrorizing the white farmers in Zimbabwe with
extortion, violence, theft, and vandalism.
And how much Media coverage does he get for doing this, compared to what he got in 1980?...Zippo!...He's an embarrassment to the media!
They don't want to cover the darkside of that egotistical dangerous
creep, whom they originally portrayed as a nationalist 'hero' 22 years ago.

I know! The white man's history in Africa is hardly commendable, and was often detestable [Examples: Mussolini in Ethiopea, King Leopold in the Congo, numerous arrogant & even punitive British colonial
governers throughout Africa, etc.], but for the media to dismiss Mugabe's
outrages as an abberation, or even ignore it, is equally abhorant.
