It all seems like they don't have set standards. I just find them confusing....are they advocating for Somaliland and Galmudug? Are they pro Ahlu Sunnah or Xisbul Islam? Are they pro TFG? Are they anarchists? Do they own charities or are they fund raising for other charities? Do they really get 25% of all donations made in their fundraising programmes? Are they a media group or a political/social/charity NGO group? Their foggy broadcasting air has rendered me lost and confused.
I like this view. More information; wider perspective. I don't like that Universal TV has a monopoly on information. Somali Channel is still growing.eyes-only wrote:marcassmith wrote:Universal TV is an independent news agency. It make its profits from advertising and programmes that have a certain political agenda.

I understand what you're saying but I still didn't expect them to be getting paid to promote various propaganda....it doesn't do much for their credibility especially since they go out of their way to promote themselves as neutral. I suppose it is only a matter of time before we see more Somali tv stations of similar scale springing up.
He said that the isaaq didn´t contribute anything to somalia except for prostitution, jaad and khamr on international TV. He crossed the lineAdvo wrote:I still dont understand all this uproar against xoosh, can someone briefly state his offensive comments cus I was unable to find the program.?

Siad Barre was in power for 21 years? Was Xiiray Qaasim (Murusade) another big tin money man made by Siyaad? Jeez, reer baadiye jaahilin asal ah weeye Soomaaliduna waxna qorin waxna qorin. Everything god damn thing is blame game.seemeyer wrote:Was Xoosh wealthy b4 MSB came into power like Jirde Hussain, cos I don't know about the other geezer,If so then there are no grounds for the accusations.But if the answer is no there will always be suspicions it's just a Somali thing

Why are Uunlaaye (Majeerteen) and Jirde Xussein (Isaaq) not linked with cronyism for the wealth they made under Siyaad but Xoosh (Mareexaan) is for being Mareexaan? Somewhere the blame game needs to stop and people need to be accountable for their failure before.
