I was going through my daily reading and found out that the number of Americans killed through gun violence is more than 1000 per month. Many others are left injured.
In contrast, 2007-2008 was our bloodiest year, yet less than 1500 people lost their lives due to the Post-Election-Violence.
It is therefore very ironic and ignorant and stupid for Fox News editors to brand us ‘War-Torn’. If America did not own all the big media, the world would have a very different view of the place.
While reporting on the Pope’s visit, Fox News splashed a big headline ‘Pope Visits War-Torn’ Africa. As expected, Kenyans on Twitter were not amused, and below we sample some of the Tweets.

In USA, the Pope is in armored car and convoy. In Kenya, he uses simple car and no armed convoy #someonetellfoxnews pic.twitter.com/a6l31ZCpWv
