Why are strikes portrayed negatively by SA media ?

[Fabulous]

Sensationalism... Sensationalism and even more sensationalism.

They want a reaction from the listeners (or readers, or viewers). The fact that a bunch of people have signed a petition because they are not happy about something is hardly a newsworthy event.

But if a bunch of (TuT for example) students (who are not even members of leadership) throw stuff around and casually threaten to vandalise property at the institution, They (the media) would rather record that than say what the memorandam is actually saying (and I dobt you will find the word "vandalism" in those documents)

U know when Julius said "We will kill for Zuma," I doubt he meant that, but the media just had to create a big HOO HAA about it.
