Lies or is it?

A few days ago, one private TV station did a special issue on the danger of lies, hearsay and defamation with reference for the nation confusing political scenes particularly (as they averred) the lies spread by the Opposition in view of the recent allegation of sodomy hurled against the former DPM.

It was indeed an exposure which exposed the double standard and selective reporting of the TV station which by the way has lost its grandeur for quite some times not only because of their bias reporting but also the quality of their reporting especially by their 'green' newscasters unlike the predecessors. While they advised the public of not divulging and believing in lies they themselves are bent towards spreading lies which they proclaimed as the truth, as if the people are stupid and naive to believe them.

They were fast to expose any purported misdeeds by the Opposition just like the so called threat by the PAS lead government of Kedah to log at water catchment areas if the Federal did not concede to their demand of 100 millions compensation and the so called abuse of public money by also the Kedah government by renting private jets. All had been successfully debunked by the respective authority.

The Internet is indeed a much sought after medium to check the validity of reports by such irresponsible media corporation owned by the ruling party. They to a very much extent was worst than the government owned media since they are directly under control and supervision of the party which has been suffering from delusions and waning support. Thanks to the Internet which at least provide second opinions and views of the other sides. Many if not all major news providers today are only highlighting one part or side of the whole picture without giving the aggrieved party any chance of telling their side of the story. They will do anything just to ensure that the ruling coalition remains in power as can bee seen in their recent attack on the burgeoning People's Pact, now all are saying that PAS as being disillusioned of the role on PR and are reviewing their position. Being a political entity and experienced PAS must be realistic as they can't struggle and achieve their objectives by being alone.

Again, thanks to the inception of the Internet, people is able to practise their minds as to who is telling the truth and who is actually telling the lies. Such feat is not available under the former regime which attributed to their strong position through arm twisting and iron fist style of governance. Nonetheless, I truly believe that such freedom may remain a dream if we are still ruled by the former regime. For this and for now, I sincerely thank AAB for his openness.
