Terence Lee Doubts TR's Credibility

Abstract:

As a media consumer, I detest its brand of character smearing. On Temasek Review’s long hit list includes: Jack Lin, a leader of the YPAP, Ng Wan Ching, a journalist at a local paper, and most recently Braema Mathi, an activist. The website’s attack on Jack Lin comes across as particularly vicious and immature: The insinuation that the YPAP leader is gay is besides the point and even drew flak from its own readers. So much for taking a higher moral ground than the mainstream media, which it declares to be an ideological opponent. But here’s an encouragement: I do read Temasek Review every once in a while because it produces the occasional gem. But for it to be taken seriously by the wider public, it must change its approach.

Why do you think Straits Times keeps quoting TR in the past?

Maybe TR got friends in SPH?

No. If you want to tar the credibility of a group of people, pick the worst amongst them and keep highlighting him as their "leader" or "voice".
