Prime Time News, I am not that stupid!
Perhaps the continuation of future talks can be done later due to current circumstances; a TV station is continuously insulting my intelligence.
Witnessing poverty, corruption and all other oppression does not seem to be the priority for prime time news. Ironically the news would rather display the oppressions of irrelevant 0020others, in this case the story Tanzania and its prostitutes, not once but twice.
The significant news lasted for 15 to 20 minutes, at par to the commercial adv airing time. 80% of the news will be the meticulously edited press statements from the premier, the number two and interviews, obviously all positives. GDP going up, bla…bla… but still the nation cries.
At the time you opt to stay and wait for more, the PETRONAS ad will be next followed by some Tanzania special report, as if the news about TIKO prostitutes is so important to general public (dey!! look at your own backyard). Subsequently, will be another set of capitalist advertisements followed by the world news at a glimpse and finally the sports.
Is that all? A regime is about to fall on your own soil, is that all you can come out with?
Never did I learn about journalism but I sure can tell what is happening is not right, where is the news from the alternative voice, ethics, what ethics?
Let me remind you guys about this fact, the largest stakeholder in this TV Company is EPF, no mystery where does the EPF money came from. You, me and millions other Malaysians (+ some indons, and banglas) are part of the company.
So this is what happening, they took your money and enjoy with it, on top of that they insulted your intelligence with such rubbish. What will I do tonight? Sit on the couch and digest more lies starting at 8.

Tell me bout it...remember the news running up to March 8? Especially the last few days before the election. Same case with the eve of the PP election. In my fantasies I have this picture of the entire TV company management being strapped to chairs, their eyes peeled open and they are forced to watch their 'handiwork' over and over again with the volume at mega decibels.....very 'V for Vendetta' scenario...hahaha
