One more hint: when you get to Kinshasa, you'll have to leave the hotel bar and mingle with the natives a bit

The hack journalists over at Rue89.com are furious that so much media coverage is directed at the Minnesota bridge collapse and not enough to catastrophes in other parts of the world. Hint to the hacks at Rue89.com: get on the stick and take your digicams over to Kinshasa instead of pontificating to your affluent bobo Parisian readers who, far from being interested in coverage of Third World disasters, spend increasing amounts of their leisure time lapping up the round-the-clock French coverage of all things anti-American.
