Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by natialo(m): 6:19am On Apr 17, 2011 |
Please is it only me or does anyone else think sahara reporters is overtly biased in its reporting. I think media houses/websites should try to exhibit a little objectivity>> Just checking or maybe its just me |

They are biased because their reporting doesn't jive with your views and sentiments right? Where were you folks when SR was leading the fight against Yaradua's kitchen cabinet on behalf of GEJ? Abegt get a life and a sound dose of rationality, |

Sahara and Next are some of the better naija newspaper, imo (guardian and vanguard also are good.) Both seem to be pretty anti-establishment, though. |

@Eko Ile, I just asked a question, you dont have to sound so frustrated? Anyways Nigeria will get better |

Fact: Sahara reporters are very biased in their reporting. |
Re: Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by warrior01: 8:47am On Apr 17, 2011 |
the fact remains that sahara reporters only cook up stories to tarnish anyone that doesn't belong to their camp. the worst form of journalism |

People especially from the south are so used to reading stuffs that are anti north anti hausa anti islam to the extend they find any news to the contrary offensive, fake, unproven and most of all strange. The same Sahara led the way during the yaradua saga. I stoped buying Nigeria dailies following an outrageous news printed by the Sun. |

Fact of the matter is that all newspapers and television stations,even radio stations in nigeria are guilty ethnic,religious and political affilliations and bias. no one can be spared and once a contrary view is presented to the general norm we cry foul. we all know nation newspaper,TVC and radio continental is ACN biased, Silverbird and rhythm 97.3 is PDP biased, Tribune newspaper west biased, punch newspaper southern biased in relation to the north,daily trust is north biased against south and it goes on and on so sahara reporters is not alone |

Saharareporters remains the only voice of the oppressed and the voiceless in Nigeria. They give news that is never suitable to the usual Nigerian system and government in power. I believe justice,fairness and truth has been their watch word in their reports. Kudos Saharareporters. |
Re: Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by Mariory(m): 11:55am On Apr 17, 2011 |
The problem with Sahara reporters IMO is that they do not attempt to verify stories |
Re: Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by natialo(m): 5:48pm On Apr 17, 2011 |
Yes, @dapachez and 13volts, I agree that all/most media houses have a little affiliation or bias, but I think they should still try a little to verify stories before printing, I stopped reading Nigerian Tribune for the same reason, I just think if people keep reading that kind of news, they will only come up with a certain kind of mindset. Journalism should be about fair reporting and I think Channels and Guardian are doing a good job |

sahars reporters were very important when the fiasco happened that saw GEJ become president. they are at least more free and less biased then anything based in nigeria. |
Re: Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by badblood13(m): 9:44pm On Apr 17, 2011 |
yes they are Biased!! Very Biased reporting. |
Re: Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by ayo84(m): 9:47pm On Apr 17, 2011 |
Now they are biased, were they biased when they exosed turai and her antics, I clearly remember sahara reporters were one of the media organisations that gave nigerians the news that motivated people to fight for gooslucks acting presiedency |
Re: Sahara Reporters? Biased Reporting? by obailala(m): 11:50pm On Apr 17, 2011 |
The wind cannot blow in your direction all the time. Saharareporters have a policy of beaming their searchlight on the government of the day and exposing their flaws. They have always done this and Nigerians enjoyed the site until the coming of GEJ who is a president loved by many. You cannot expect SR to change their lifelong policy simply because u like the present govt. If u feel offended by their "biased" reporting towards GEJ and his govt, i suggest u stick with Thisday and co until whenever GEJ leaves power. |
