Trevor Noah Slams CNN’s Nigeria Coverage Double Standard: ‘What the F—‘ (Video)
Michael Holmes described Nigeria during the network’s coverage of the country’s recent Twitter ban, pointing out how unlikely it would be to see the United States given similar treat over similar issues. Holmes called Nigeria “a country plagued by kidnappings, extremists and bandits” in a weekend segment about Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari banning Twitter and prosecuting Nigerians who try to use it.Noah, who is from South Africa, cracked a few jokes about the Twitter ban but closed his monologue on Monday’s “Daily Show” by pointing out the subtle bias in the way Holmes introduced the segment.“Okay, as an African allow me to say what the f—,” Noah exclaimed angrily.
