The story of British media and Jeremy Corbyn is a story about how the media picks one narrative, drowns everyone in it, finds irrational and emotional supporters to rant about it, until their story looks like the reality. Kenya media has done the same with BBI and CBC.

The media tactic is to overwhelm us with a single story and go crazy or silence us when we introduce a diversity of stories. I have been called names by CBC supporters less for opposing CBC and more for complicating the stories. The danger of the single story by Chimamanda.
If you look at the pro-CBC replies to my tweets, you will notice that they don't respond to what I actually say. They'll say employment, I'll say employment is an economic issue, then they'll respond using different words about skills that kids need to earn a living.
Then I reply, then they reply, and you'll notice the conversation is going nowhere.
It's psyops.
The point is to work me up by frustrating me, then say I'm too emotional to reason.
But there's also another more important thing they're doing.

Because there's back and forth activity, you, the casual #KOT observer trying to follow the conversation, get tired and drift off to something else, maybe thinking to yourself that there's a technically rich conversation going on that you can't follow. But there's none!
It's devilishly brilliant.
The media, especially British and Kenyan, should be tried for criminal psychological manipulation.
The Cambridge Analytica tactics have been used for CBC and few Kenyans have noticed.

Because we are told that words don't matter, only actions, we don't realize how powerful the media have been through use of words alone.
We need to respect speech as a form of action. The media are clear on what they are accomplishing through words. We need to be clear as well.
