We think that it is better for politicians to read all newspapers within and outside the country in order to get peoples views, challenges and aspirations.

 But this is not the case with the FDC President, Col. Kiiza Besigye. He has told the members of FDC inKampalathat for him he doesn’t read the Daily Red Pepper, Onion, Entasi and Kamunye newspaper. Why? Besigye says this is because the above newspapers are reportedly used by the NRM government to write negative stories about FDC and Besigye.

 Besigye also says that he hardly read the government owned newspapers of the New Vision and Bukedde because they too are used to fight opposition.

 The FDC leader says he only reads the Weekly Observer and the Daily monitor because according to him these two newspapers write professionally and accurately.
