  5. This reporter literally just interviewed probably the most important man in Africa right now who has had numerous attempts on his life. Didn't explore anything about his vision for the country and Africa, what's working well and what can be improved but just regurgitating the tired old Libya style smear campaign. Oh, and the obligatory 'what are your views on homosexuality'. Sky News Reporter, he's worried about getting his population clean water, education, electricity, jobs, and defeating sponsored terrorism.
