A comment was posted here yesterday which is standard of the sweeping condemnation of Malaysian reporters which frequently arises generally from the chattering classes of the urban middle-class. In Internet terms, the commenter was the troll, completely except the points in Saturday's square How about prostitution, for Hew's sake or the prior square Political hacks blade media 'pimps as well as prostitutes' surfacing only to have the put-down, the kind dear of policemen as well as infrequently of parachute unfamiliar correspondents.
Malaysian reporters deserved no respect, the commenter said, because of "half the century of made news, domestic propaganda as well as apple-polishing", an observation which to illustrate in the centre absolves Malaysian multitude of condoning as well as meekly accepting the corruption of Malaysian broadcasting by domestic as well as commercial operation interests.
The decaying quasi-totalitarian Malaysian domestic complement which has grown over the past half-century was additionally meekly accepted by the masses. Western media as well as their local flunkies, infrequently in tandem with their unfamiliar offices, were additionally quite rebuilt to praise as well as even provide fawning support by branch a blind eye when it suited them.
It's the bit rich o! f those who were regularly the partial of the gravy train to right away condemn Malaysian reporters for being little opposite from what they themselves have been, collaborators in the harlotry of Malaysian democracy by commercial operation as well as alternative interests, some of them vast transnational conglomerates. Frigates as well as fighters, tanks as well as technology transfers have been the powerful incentive to forget principle.
That domestic flacks for antithesis parties have right away turn highly regarded as flame bearers of apostolic eccentric broadcasting is merely the alternative side of the coin of the Malaysian nicely left rotten: Malaysian politicians of either side are as willingly indifferent to repression, as others of which ilk, by in the centre looking the alternative way when it's not in their interests to notice.
They had the lot of help from friends during that.
Such friends. Friends like we wouldn't believe. Feh.
