freedom of the press...

know quite a good number of journalist and wonder what will they honestly say about this particular issue...

according to numerous reports lately re the freedom of the press.. are you really having that kinda 'uncontrolled freedom'?!?...

will you and/or yr company take risk to report on some wrong doing by certain people and eventually get into trouble when you and/or yr company report and publish that truth?!?....

reading and studying the details and reports in various newspapers for the past week or so.. it seems that, everything seems to be so nice and fine (minus the criminal news, which is on a rise), esp news fm the govt... wat took my interest is najib's 'whipping' session to umno members who made racial remarks during the umno meeting.. each and every newspaper is reporting on this every alternate day, eventho this is a govt party 'whipping' govt party thing... are they in the umno trying to tell the rakyat thru the press that they are doing the right thing and wants the press to write more about this?!?... this is just an example...

is the govt doing all this BECAUSE the general election is coming soon?!?... to me personally... yes, it is!... think they need the press to help them paint a better picture which the current picture is already all 'smeared' up... also to repair the 'dented' image the govt is having right now... the next g.e expected to be in may 2007 or so... be ready!..


p/s ; the power of changing the govt is thru the ballot boxes!.. pls vote wisely!...
