Daily Trust has a brutal editorial on FFK. Won’t share the link - it’s vicious, and I think the title could have been worded differently - but as far as the quality of the writing goes it is extremely well-written. Whoever strung those words together deserves some gbosas.
Having said that, I hope we are now at the moment when the media will stop enabling the FFKs of this world, and all other entrepreneurs of hate and bigotry whose essence and relevance depend primarily on the oxygen of mass media publicity.
“...the actions of the media are all important. For newspapers and TV, acts of terrorism inevitably make good copy and compelling viewing. The hijacker & the terrorist thrive on publicity: without it, their activities & their influence are sharply curtailed.” — Margaret Thatcher
“Violence and atrocity command attention. We must not play into their hands.” — Thatcher.
Replace those key words with “bigotry” and “hate” and the sentiments would still be 💯.
