In Malaysia, a few news websites have attracted many readers as the mainstream media there seldom reports news as it is - without fear or favour. Also across the Causeway, netizens have a field day posting insensitive remarks on race and religion. If left unchecked, this can result in dire consequences. I am heartened by our socially responsible mainstream newspapers, which run reports objectively and impartially. Our media has played a pivotal role in nation-building all these years, and contributed in no small way to the well-being of our country. Reading The Straits Times will always be my cup of tea.'

Cyberspace allows all to ventilate their angst, fury, frustrations, sadness,joy etc without any appreciable censorship or not at all.

If MSM wants to continue to be supported by all/most readers, it is incumbent on the decision makers in the said media to institute a sea change in the way and manner they carry opinions they deem contrary to that of the govt.

Differing views and even contentious ones are at times far better than those which adulate or are supportive of national issues. After all the lid on dissenting views drive many to the alternate market place of ideas in cyberspace.
That would be counter-productive, to say the least.
