xiinfaniin Posted June 3, 2013 What happened to this site? I have observed an unhealthy bias against Faroole ... No word of the momentous political activities taking place in Nairobi from the meeting between Hassan Sheekh and Faroole to today's meeting with Uhuru, Hiiraan Online editorial decided to censor it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metta Posted June 3, 2013 Hiiraan Online is the most fair and balanced Somali news website on the internet. Everyone from every part of Somalia goes on it. Even the Somalilanders go on it more than their Somaliland websites. If you want to see bias and nonsense, go to Dhanaan and Garowe Online or the clan websites operating out of angry DAG basements.

Waranle_Warrior Posted June 3, 2013 Hiiraan online is bitter and clanish. The trend is also wider, many HAG web portals did not report on Faroole's visit to Kenya, of course not because they didn't have reporters in Kenya and unable to get the info but they chose to remain silent on the issue for a purpose.

Mafia Posted June 4, 2013 Hiiraan Online is one of the more reasonable websites out there. Surprisingly, they do maintain a semi-professional attitude towards news. That said, their point of view is very much in tandem with that of the president and the greater HAG strategy/perspective. They are deeply engaged in the propaganda wars against certain clans/locals such as Jubbaland & Puntland, but their message is often meticulously disguised and subtle, largely necessitated by the popularity of their website among Somalis of all backgrounds and all places. Their bias has to be measured and disseminated in smaller portions, so as to not awaken the indiscernible. They follow this simple risk aversion model- nothing to do with fairness. Of course, you could say the same thing about other popular sites and I would agree. For sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
