Political reporting needs a boost

TOP del.icio.us

Okay. So maybe it’s the same world over. But I found the headlines from this weekend’s papers particularly depressing:

  • Go to hell, Tsvangirai tells Generals (The Standard)
  • Mugabe wants deadlock on constitution (The Standard)
  • Armed forces averted coup, says Shiri (The Herald – Talking not about any specific or recent coup, but about a coup that might have been in the era of the rapidly collapsing Zim Dollar)
  • COPAC Management Committee exposed (The Sunday Mail)

Is this really as pathetic as our politics is? Or is it just as good as our local press can do?
