Straits Times readership plunged to historical low level.

[myfoot123]

My friend who subscribed to Straits Times two months ago due to freebies have immediately cancelled his subscription with effect from 1 May 2011. He finds the news not very objective and not value for money.

Many Singaporeans find the editors, reporters, news coverage not very objective too. The past few weeks have seen them giving opposition a bad Public Relations and biased reportings. PAP were painted positively by Pro-PAP Straits Times that conclude SPH is a PRO-PAP establishments. After election, the newspaper will see many withdrawal symptoms and Singaporeans will now rely on internet for no-hold-bar news and more up-to-date uncensored discussions.

A friend who worked in civil service also feel that he has now hardly rely on main stream media to make his personal decision in the election campaigning. He too has participated aggresively in forum discussion. Looking at all PAP candidates whom many have not gone through election battle and can't talk properly in rally, he is determined to vote for opposition parties.

Dooms day for SPH.

As long as the ST doesnt report and comment on local affairs, it is fine. Their Sports, Business, Arts, pages can't be corrupted.

Having said that, yes, might as well give up yr subs. Read foreign news media for world news, and sammyboy for local news and cooments.

We have such great commentaries and earth-shaking revelatrions form time to time, even the ST salivates.

For me, I start from the back and read the business pages, the obituaries and the sports pages.
Then just flip to look for good pictures.

I can't judge about their readership, but I can safely conclude that their CREDIBILITY is at a historical low level.

What do u expect when these MIW-controlled media are staffed by shameless no-backbones PAP lackeys and Ex-ISD operatives who write articles against their conscience ???

Wa lau eh!!!!! All major newspapers (espescially the chinese Xin Min newspaper) oiled up to attack opposition parties. Journalism etique all thrown into the void just to support their master PAP. The greedy reporters must be afraid of losing their iron-rice bowl and put Singapore at stake for making bias reportings. This is just so sick to the root of main stream media. KNNBCCB, after election I don't where main stream media will stand, certainly dropped from 154th to 200th ranking in the new update of freedom of speech without borders.
