Old timers like cheong yip seng, leslie fong, and Peter lim had a more challenging time balancing LKY's demands and credibility of the paper. They still had some journalistic conscience in them. But not the current bunch. Head of media Anthony Tan is a former civil servant, and through and through Party man.
He doesn't care about press credibility cos he has no bloody idea about media. He's just a highly paid jaga. As for editor in chief Warren F, he was actually earmarked to stand for election as PAP candidate long time ago. What a farce! Big joke!
