Government Mouthpiece
Same situation, different treatment. That's what I got from TV3's primetime news, Buletin Utama. People say that The Star is pro-government, but I find TV3 is even more so. Their first piece on Monday was on PROTES, the anti-price hike thing at Kelana Jaya. Was reported as unhealthy and a threat to public safety. Police commented that the rally was obviously politically-motivated, so all the speeches would be recorded. After that, a rally of support at Perak for our embattled PM was covered. It was on the other hand described as "peaceful" and "positive". Even had a clip of a fiery speech going on. Biased? Anyway, our DPM declared PROTES a failure because the attendance was poor. Mestilah, blok sini-sana. Just on Jalan Puchong itself the police put two roadblocks causing massive jams.
Other news included comments from our dear MIC President regarding his ex-Youth Chief. He described him as "ungrateful" and a "coward". That was his personal opinion on the issue, and our dear TV3 reported it as a fact that the ex-Youth Chief was "ungrateful and did not make use of the chances given to him in the party". To report comments is one thing, but to present them as facts and the truth is really irresponsible. Not like we're asking the media to be pro or anti-government, but for goodness sake just try to remain impartial! I guess it's diffiult when one has a license renewal to worry about every year. Bah.
