Sport creates unity, and unity is exactly what our country needs. Opinions?

Agree with you. He doesn't understand it. Don't know why the media still goves him airtime.

Don’t know why the media still goves him airtime.

It's really simple... Malema is really good at triggering the white body politic (which also happens to be the socio-political group with the most collective buying power) into rage-clicking hysterics - which translates into ad revenue bonanzas for the media bosses.

That's why. The media's purpose is not to inform... it's to make the media bosses rich.

Very true... so what news source should we use then?

[–] masquenox 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

GroundUp is the best we have - it is still, unfortunately, somewhat liberal, and it's mostly limited to news stories that affects WC, but it's still a crap-ton better than news24.

Oh, is Malema triggering white people again?

Yawn.

edit: To answer the question - no... sport doesn't create unity. It creates PR and nothing else.

No surprise here. He will do anything that promotes his self interest.
