Baru aku sedar, dari 11 highlight berita dalam negeri dalam utusan.com, enam daripadanya melaporkan kemalangan atau kematian.
Someone might ask, other than being government propagation instrument, has utusan side income came from reporting fatal incidence?
On my way back from Liverpool to Bristol today, someone has forgotten his/her Observer, leaving it on the seat next to mine. Me, feeling bored and five more hours of journey to endure, grab the newspaper and read it just to kill the time.
The first 4 pages were dedicated to report the Lebanon war. It even included the intimidating picture of Israeli soldiers singing on their way home from the battlefield. Blair was condemned by his own ministers over his solid support to Bush. Statistic of the war casualities was also given, which is represented in a very informative way.
Not to be satirical, back in my own beloved country, in today’s issue of utusan.com, out of ten topics on the front page, only one was dedicated for the war. That’s one tenth, I repeat, 1/10 of the front page. In addition to that, from ten topics in the ‘Luar negara’ section, only two were for Lebanese war against Israeli soldiers.How shame……..the other nine on the front page are not even related to the war. How in the name of God, when the world is experiencing its difficult war time, we comfortably read about Johor to become a metropolitan in the front page.
I can still remember someone commented about TV2 broadcasted a movie showing US fighter jet outpowering Russian jet. The movie alone is not a problem, but the timing is not quite right. For the love of God, how can this TV channel showed this kind of movie when the US is supplying artileries and missile to Israel? Imagine the feeling of our brothers in Lebanon learning us sitting cozily on comfortable sofa at our home, sipping Coca-Cola, admiring the military technology that US has.
What is really making me laugh but feel shame at the same time is that our beloved government subscribes this very fighter jet produced by Russian, which is defeated by US jet in this film.
Hehehe…how insensitive our country’s medias are…… isn’t it so?
Yes, as always ’tis….
