There were grenade attacks in Nairobi yesterday where 6 people died and at least 68 were injured.
Now CNN instead of reporting it as such went on to claim that there was violence in Kenya as shown in the picture below [Courtesy of Zosi].
When asked, the CNN guy in Kenya i.e. David McKenzie †had this to say.
@ngigeh @coldtusker @DiaspoRadical I didn’t hear the word ‘violence’ on our air, but I have alerted HQ in case it was used.

Disappointed, angry and frustrated Kenyans then started a hashtag #SomeoneTellCNN which is now a Trending Topic worldwide
CNN should unreservedly apologize for this exploitative journalism, for lying to the world about the state of security in Kenya.

Someone at CNN has apologized. Is it enough?
Our reporting onlast night was accurate, the banner used in bulletin was not. I contacted CNN for future bulletins. Apologies to all.
