That's what our newspapers have become: light entertainment or lurid drama. You might be right about there not being any alternative news source. I recently subscribed to Malaysiakini, and realized that quite a bit of local news - apart from political news, of course - features in their online portal. All the more reason to ensure newspapers listen to their consumers - and those consumers being the rakyat rather than the government! @suanie: fits my mood at the moment hahaha.. I might be switching to angry red soon, what with all these protests! hahaha :) @shadowfox: good on you! :) in any case, the mainstream media is only good for non-political news, and even then it is steeped in sensationalism and fashionable sound-bites.

In scamming blog ad aggregators that encourages their bloggers to do fraudulent self-clicks? hehehhehehe. Mainstream media sucks at politically-unbiased news but there's still no alternative media that could replace them for various regular news that aren't politics related, such as robberies, rapes, policy announcements, stock market reports, Tell-It-To-Thelma, you get the picture. Political apathy is too widespread in this country. Then add political ignorance. Anyway, this household has already stopped subscriptions long ago. And where would the advertisers put their ads?
