Radio "Kang Kang"

The title of this post is borrowed from one of Jaliba Kuyateh's songs. So what is Radio 'Kang kang'? It is a Mandinka term for gossip and the art of gossiping. In the aforementioned Jaliba song, he cautioned people to take what you heard on radio kang kang with a grain of salt. He stated and I am paraphasing here: "if there is any truth to it, the bulk of the information is rubbish"

Which brings me to the amateur hour that is the freedom newspaper show. The hyperbole and screaming fest will put Bill Orielly to shame. And who on God's green earth design that radio stream to blast away as soon as you landed on the front page? The annoyance factor is decibels high. Wouldn't it make more sense to let visitors navigate to the radio program on their own? It could be displayed prominently to attract attention rather than been the attention whore it has become in NderryLand.

I have been gone for a while and in my absence Nderry graduated from college. Congratulations are in order. I will start my critique of Nderry's work here on.
