1.) They won't report on it because he is black, a marxist , an anti-west racist, a crook, a murderer, and most likely now, criminally insane or at least delusional.
Everything the RDDBs in the media adores.
2.) Mugabe fits the typical description of a despotic African dicator to a "t", so the RDDBs will do everything to protect the notion that white, western civilization
is the real evil in the world.
3.) The fact that Mugabe took a net food exporter and turned it in to a basket case is not their problem.
So the deaths of tens of thousands of people is not their responsibility.
4.) Their own responsiblity and problem is how they are going to figure out a way to blame it on the US taxpayer,
or at least the British taxpayer.
5.) Likewise, the speculation is that South African is going to have a minimum of 400K starving refugees
invading it, is also not their responsibility.
6.) Reporting that their "fair-haired" boy is not only worse than a total failure, but a real psychopathic
dictator, would damage their credibility and attract cries of racism from Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakan, Clinton, et al.
7.) Bottom line is that reporting the truth about Mugabe and his destruction of Zimbabwe is bad for the people who now "practice" the trade of Journalism. Worse for the people of Zimbabwe, but hey, can't have Marxism without murder or pogroms.
I have no idea why Fox is taking a pass (if they are). I get a lot of my news from shortwave, and signal
propagation is generally degraded during the summer months.
Radio Canada isn't coming in too well, but their coverage of Zim has dropped off since the election anyway.
Likewise, VOA/Africa's been pretty unlistenable (as well as my own schedule).
