Is shreds of tenderness a play of absurd

I think the lines of reality and the absurd are blurred. Whenever there is a legitimate question as to the exact nature of the relationship that exists between political authority and the mainstream media which shapes, guides and reinforces opinion, the lines between actual news and propaganda is blurred. The manipulation of information in newspaper articles and radio broadcasts are implicated as symptomatic of a problem that exists throughout the many African countries that have suffered decades of political instability.
