Exams are finally over for me and I'm taking this time to wind down, relax and do my own stuffs. It's a pretty good thing to have such breaks by hitting the gym, playing games, watching TV, hanging out with friends and my girlfriend and not forgetting having some time on my own just plain relaxing.
I've stumbled upon some political issues regarding how the government is treating the masses. It is as if the masses have no mind of their own. I beg to differ as they, from what I've learned from my Mass Communication course unit, are active audiences. These people have the freedom to choose who they support, what they hear or listen to, and what interests them. This is the most basic form of democracy, in media's term. Unfortunately, the local media only broadcast half-truths and never is it ever up-front with the supposedly "passive" audiences. Well, the media is in the hands of the government's manipulation and control. It totally contradicts the purpose of broadcasting standard and world-class news to the locals when in the hands of the Authoritarian power, which also contradicts the meaning of democracy, giving it vagueness and hypocrisy.
One example would be the interview with Dr.Chee Soon Juan to dig out the ultimate happening behind the scene which the media do not publish in order to save their skins. I know I'd have some people throwing egg-shells at me for speaking up for Dr. Chee. No, I'm not. I was just trying to provide a aid to those who are not fed by the 'real' media. The Authoritarian powers can fool the media and vice versa, but the media and its content cannot fool the local audiences, thinking they are stupid enough to believe in the half-truths they are propaganding.
If I were a journalist conducting such interviews with Dr. Chee and having my work published in local news, I would be the first clown to be fired, sued, whipped and hanged.
Here you go, the video...

I used to think that this guy is a joker. But little did I know that there's something behind it. Some truths remained untold, which the media failed to do in order to save their skin.
