His journalist peers around the World repeatedly rated them badly for their of lack of independence and partiality. It's an established track record. The internet has revealed more things than these arseholes. In the Brompton case, the netizen accessed publicly available records with a bit of sweat to break the case. Fucking dishonest and lazy morons.

Even Myanmar now have free media and press under civilian government lead by U Thein Sein.

A typical frog-in-well sinkee. He doesn't know what is credibility. He is a laughing stock in the international media community. His broadsheet is no different from the PRC or Myanmar newspapers.

He should be reporting the style of public toilets that smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY be buried under

Bury that bastard LKY under a public toilet or in sewerage treatment plant.
Sinkies shit on him or flowing around him will purify that bastard LKY
The stink of our shit will smell a lot better than that smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY.

Yes, mee Siam mai hum, fixed the opposition, Nicole Seah and married man etc are a long list of errors, poor verification and outright fabrication shows an captive organisation that serves its political masters.

SPH over 2 decades has shown that with money you can compromise some people no matter how educated they are. It also tells us that there is no linkage between one's moral compass and the his level of education.

Notice how when their leaders leave the organisation, there is a need to redeem themselves by trying to show where they are stood firm against their political bosses, writing articles that are anti establishment etc.

The credibility factor is vital. Even a digital ST will suffer from a lack of credibility. When they start featuring Page 3 girls, you know the end is near.

We'll just have to wait for his book where he'll tell how he tried to stand up for press freedom and how he tried to change the system from within etc. He must be trying his darnedest to earn his bread without losing his soul. His latest salvo is plainly to impress his masters and score a few more brownie points. Plenty of schmucks like that.

let just say both the MSM and the online platform has churned out disgraceful half truths news.

The online alternative news sites are exposing things the mainstream propaganda machine are trying hard to hide.

If the same atrocities and scandals of the PAP govt had happened 20-30 years ago, people would be none the wiser because there was no Internet back then.

Had the mainstream news media done their job properly, there would be minimum conflict with the online alternative news sites. Instead, the mainstream news chose to be doggies. And so the information war must continue.

A free press, a real labour union and winter all have one thing in common: they don't exist in Singapore.

They must be getting desperate... declining viewership, subscriptions and ad revenue? :biggrin:

When it hurts their pockets it gets personal. It becomes a war. :wink:

Piss off, you disgusting SPH presstitutes. :oIo:


Don"t worry...even the financial community validates it.

SPH is the most shorted stock in SGX...they see SPH going one way..i.e downhill..

Ex-Straits Times editor reveals gov’t meddling in tell-all book

But this is the first time a Singapore editor has gone to print with an insider's take on how the republic's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew systematically controlled the press with draconian laws and protected it with anti-competition barriers.......

"I will break your neck," Cheong describes Lee as telling him when the rookie reporter tried to make a case for not imposing an embargo on a speech the Prime Minister had made..........

One of the bravest episodes was when Peter Lim, Cheong's predecessor, resisted Lee's pressure to print the full O level results of Opposition politician Chiam See Tong during the 1984 election. Lee wanted to show to voters that Chiam did not have the academic credentials to be a capable MP.......... Peter Lim, tried to run the newsroom with some form of independence and paid the price for it by having to resign.
..........
The Singapore government's intervention in media is legendary. Cheong describes many episodes -- from appointments of editors to shaping coverage of political and foreign events .............
A book of this nature is never complete and never meets one's full expectations because the omissions are many and the shades of truth are varied.................

For instance, the over-night contraction in ST's coverage (after a phone call, that is) of the 1988 election in which former Solicitor General Francis Seow was an Opposition candidate is never mentioned, the private conversation between Cheong and the second prime minister Goh Chok Tong that the government wanted him to take over as editor-in-chief is not explained and how the paper handled the 1987 Internal Security Act arrests for an alleged "Marxist conspiracy" which rankle the elite till today is erased out.........

Seems Cheong and Peter cast doubts ......credible censored news?

Because of Cheong, the Govt got away with blue murder. Peter resisted till the very end. Mano Sabnani resisted as well and the Govt asked. Balji to come back from retirement to replace him. Now both arseholes writing articles of truth.

They are possibly arseholes but I'd really like to know if that is all true shit.

Yes, they are true. Both put out what they fought on but did not reveal what they let thru. If I gave in 19 times out of 20 but wrote about the one that I fought on each year, I would have quite a number to write on.

Look at Mano Sabnani, he was summoned as the editor to the Istana with the young lady reporter who covered old man's wife's medical evacuation from London. Shaun Seow as the print chief was also there. Both the girl and Mano was berated. Eventually Mano was removed and Balji was brought back. On the day of his removal, someone from the office was giving SBF a blow by blow account of the events that was unfolding.

You never see Mano writing articles like Bertha, Cheong, Balji etc after their exit, taking on the establishment or trying to be neutral. Mano does not need to cleanse his soul. Instead Mano is taking DBS to task for screwing POSB customers.
