Really eyeopening stuff...

the majority of liberian females have been raped

most liberian children will try heroin, cocaine

a large percentage have eaten human flesh...

Captivating, slightly shady journalism.

Mostly racist journo-porn typical of journalism on anything Africa.

"majority of females raped" = black men are sexual predators
"most liberian children and drugs" = those blacks are drug addicts even as children

"large percentage eating human flesh" = those nigg*rs are savages

its all drivel. Extremely shady - typical of the CIA - NYtimes types journalism on Africa

Yeah it sounds like sensationalism journalism. Maybe 1 guy in a mountain did it and all of a sudden all of liberia is human eating cocaine smoking rapist.

I didn't see it as misconstruing Liberian daily life... What I found shady was the bribery involved with the journalism, but I don't think you can argue against the access they gained.

"Black men are sexual predators" was not what they were getting at. Liberia is an extremely fucked up country, 4th poorest in the world...the video speaks for itself. Is it sensationalist, yes, that is what makes it entertaining. Is it painting a false portrait of a post-civil war nation? I don't think so. It was not racist, unless it is racist to document and publicize serious problems in poor African nations.

Messed up country!

Not the only one in the world though..happens in Europe too not so long ago..Bosnia/Serbs /Croats one minute neighbors ,the next chopping each other down and sticking them in prison camps.

Never underestimate the humans ability to sink to the depths.

Look at their other videos, these guys aren't you typical journalists.

Not to say it was sensationalized a little bit, but these guys go to some of the worst places in the world and are usually pretty informative
