It looks like the writer got a memo from the Government to give the poor Minister some credit. It's like they need that extra support so badly. And thats why SIngapore's mainstream media tanks on independence and true journalism

Singapore Democratic Party's Chee Soon Juan lashed out at DPM Tharman for saying the mainstream media here is well-balanced. "If the DPM believes that Singaporeans are no fools, then why does he continue to tell us to believe him and not our lying eyes?"

Our reader disagreed with DPM Tharman's comments that our mainstream media is well-balanced as he lists 8 examples where he thinks it did not go about balanced reporting. What do you think? Is it really 151st media?

Former NSP Sec-Gen Lim Tean claimed the MSM had "grossly under-reported" the number of attendees for the Hong Lim Park silent protest against the "blatant racialism" of the Elected Presidency. He also thanked Tan Cheng Bock for turning up.

Orhor, our reader understands the need for censorship but calls out CNA for deleting negative comments on the elected Presidency. Why not have an open forum or have our opinions heard? Why so scared?

It was exposed that the mainstream media The Straits Times always interviewed the same few people to get opinions on every issue for the past few years.

In a dramatic U-turn posted yesterday following the publication of the article on TODAYonline, the dean has since claimed that mainstream media had published his email without his permission.

Orh hor, the Straits Times anyhow report that two LRTs collided at Sengkang! In its clarification today, the Land Transport Authority explained that ST's article was "erroneous" and "misleading" as there was no collision on the LRT line. It said the two LRTs were actually coupled and travelling as one train when it suddenly stalled, causing passengers to lose their balance. LTA believed people may have gotten the wrong impression that the trailing train-car collided with the one in front. It assured the public that all passengers were alright as the staff manually drove them to another station safely.

The worst kind of journalism is that perpetuated by lapdog tabloids masquerading as respectable trustworthy newspapers, such as Today. Surely, the type of fake news published by the MSM is much more pernicious than those alleged "falsehoods" in the online media given its much broader reach?

Minister says "nothing will be swept under the carpet" - and then mainstream media do precisely that and sweep his "You are not going to get angels in power all the time" remarks under the carpet.
