Uhuru Kenyatta’s criticism of the media should have been targeted at vile gutter press

Recently, Jubilee’s Uhuru Kenyatta bitterly attacked the press. In a moment of fury, Mr Kenyatta let a probing — and annoying — press get to him. He counterpunched. But his retort was more amusing than dangerous, or injurious to a free press.

He said words to the effect newspapers are only good for “wrapping meat.” Apparently, Mr Kenyatta regards the wrapping for meat as less than garbage. His point was that newspapers have become worthless — trash.
