Mugabe put new rules in against reporting the truth.
The BBC was banned before the election. An American-born, British newspaper reporter, and long-time Zim resident
was charged, found not guilty, and promptly urged (ordered?) to leave.
Seems Mugabe's supporters were said to be after hime.

The reason Zimbabwe is not covered in the "mainstream" media is that to do so, and do so fairly, one would have to describe Mugabe as an African Stalin. Now that is politically incorrect and an American liberal's worst nightmare on a numer of accounts.

Thanx for responding Calvin, but that didn't gimme any answers. I'm curious as to why I can't hear these stories told on TV--Fox News, in particular. Why don't they wanna tell us about this?
