World's worst places: Top 10 places you do not want to visit in 2012

The "Vice" series on Liberia was not "great." It was inflammatory and misleading and a phenomenal rebuke, from the journalists, to the country that kept them safe and welcome throughout their visit. (My friend showed them around. I know how they rolled and I lived in Liberia for years, including when they passed through and up till 4 months ago).

Your article is also a poor and unwelcome contribution to journalism. In what context do you call something a "city" when it is one sub-section of a city? You are mixing and matching cities with ghettoes, favelas and slums and you are doing it all at the expense of the struggling countries that you mention and for your own glory and attention.

I hope you become a different sort of journalist in 2012.
