Innocent newspaper

on usual days, i note with mild disgust the type of news that is deemed worthy of our front pages and page threes. and by that, i mean zoo staff carrying a crocodile in for mating, ministers of different races in batik shirts all smiley and muhibbah as they ‘lou sang’ together and random wonder kids who can do form 5 add math problems. i dont know, someone please tell me - is this the kind of stuff that should rightly take precedence in our mass media, a mass media that has a responsibility to educate and inform a country of 24 million?

A good read on the current state of news reporting in Malaysia. I guess the only sad part is we need a 18 year old to write and tell the obvious. But hey, at least we didn’t have Tomkat wedding on the front page.
