Another former prostitute press initiative :oIo::oIo:....

Balji beats Bertha at Facebook Likes, surpasses her in one day
Posted on 30 July 2013

The Independent trumps Breakfast Network, official time of Balji’s victory is at 12.45 a.m., July 30, 2013.

What happens when two ex-mainstream media old-timers have a go at each other?

A lopsided battle ensues.

New-and-not-even-launched website The Independent by ex-Today chief P N Balji has surpassed ex-Straits Times Bertha Henson’s Breakfast Network — in terms of Facebook Likes.

Breakfast Network Facebook page was launched on February 19, 2013. Over the course of five months, it has accumulated 1,640 Likes, which is lesser than the number of FB Likes Lim Swee Say has.

The Independent Facebook page, on the other hand, was launched on May 16, 2013, and has 1,641 Facebook Likes even before the website’s official launch on August 9.

The official victory timing where the The Independent surpassed Breakfast Network in terms of Likes was recorded at 12.45 a.m., July 30, 2013. independent-fb-likes

If they have set up a company to finance the new site then it seems it will be run commercially.

You are right. They are probably a PAPzi 5th column in cyberspace. Look at how MDA drew attention to them by demanding to license them even before they start operation.

Asking one of their dogs to go and startsome cockanathan "news" site which is called "independent" is a palpably obvious as a fucking mama telling everyone that he is indian....fuck you....


You think we are so stupid....in fact the very connotations which accompany the label that it is "the Independent" screams out that it is the very antithesis ....


And you get this cocksucker who lays hmself down in submission to the requirements of the new law is to create the impression tha it is to be followed ...to that i will tell PAP this...


Nice try motherfuckers.... Now stop insulting our intelligence and fuck off with your lapdogs already!!!
