KOT Castigate ‘The Nairobian ‘ For Welcoming Obama With Scandolous And Malicious Article

Over the weekend, one of Kenya’s fastest selling tabloid newspapers the Nairobian came under fire from Kenyans who felt like they welcomed Obama with a scandalous article.

The article that graced the cover page was called “How Scandals made Obama President” and it rubbed people off the wrong way, judging from the angry reactions of Twitter. Which in my opinion was just the knee-jerk reaction by people who did not read the whole article.

They just read the click-bait headline and rushed to comment, not wanting to be left out of the roasting bandwagon.

jeremiah gichuhi ‏@jeregw :@dailynation @TheStarKenya @StandardKenya please tell the #Nairobian to style up. Is is malicious and negative. @kot

Duncan@22 ‏@DuncanIsabwa: Just like Moses Kuria,Babu Owino and Huddah,”The Nairobian”knows how to stay relevant.

Samloffee Anson Mont ‏@samloffee :Nairobian is the special child of Kenyan journalism “@TheBryo: Nairobian Paper headline tho… ahah#ObamaReturns “

OBARA OBAMA ‏@CorneliusObara:NEMA shud sue The Nairobian for misusing trees

senhor guilherme ‏@senhor_Guilherm:The nairobian represents the retard in smg that never transformed after the michuki incident

But there were those who actually read the article and were not too quick to judge writing this:

James humphries5 ‏@JHumphries5 :LMAO some people condemning The Nairobian & haven’t read the content about that headline. Too much “ignorance”

Ted Malanda ‏@TedMalanda :None of the Kenyans complaining about # The Nairobian headline has read the story!

John Nyiggih ‏@JNyiggih : Turn to the next page, read the story before tweeting ill of The Nairobian and stop judging by the cover! The headline is worth it
