Obama, Kenyan TV station

• An interesting discussion has been building up concerning the colour of Obama’s spirituality for some days now.  Give power to the blogs, eh! I so want to hope I will still be able to watch all the Democrats’ pre-nomination debates ahead of the November 2008 polls, as I did those ahead of the 2004 polls. I so love the questions that go with them.  I also want to hope Kenyan media will equally grill those seeking to run this country (on either side of the aisle), all the way to the councillors.  It should be possible with the proliferation of various forms of media these days.  John Sibi-Okumu, anyone?
• At least three different friends of mine in the mainstream media have suggested that one of the local TV stations has been bought by a leading opposition figure, who is quietly trying to poach staff from rival TV stations with the intention of shaking the market with some quality products.  The politician in question no doubt has the cash.  If true, it will be difficult not to see this as part of the wider pre-poll manouvres here.
