Yup the the post title says it all.
This blog if mine was actually featured on NTV7’s 7 Edition news earlier tonight. To my immense surprise my blog was one of the 2 blogs featured in the news piece tittled Blogs and SMS War: B-N Must Move With The Times. The other blog featured was no other than that of DAP strong man Lim Kit Siang!
(This blogger is not part of any ‘war’ btw)
I am profoundly proud that a small time blogger like me was actually put into a similar context with the likes of uber blogger Lim Kit Siang. To be fair I am only a new hand at political blogging and that too is mostly me expressing my thought on such matters. Be it by sheer luck and/or blind chance that my blog was chosen, I still can’t help feeling somewhat proud of myself right now.
Further more I have previously lambasted the main stream media’s like NTV7 for their failure in reporting unbiased news and so on. I still stand by my view and unless things change for the better I will continue to highlight the failure and fallacies along with the great reporting that shines through ever so often. Still my thanks for this unlooked for promotion of my blog goes out to NTV7 and the person(s) responsible for choosing my blog.
Below is the online version of th 7 Edition news (Part 1) that featured the news piece highlighting this blog, beginning from the 6.25 minute up till the 8.25 minute. Also sorry for the jutting out effect of the video.
However Election’08 has seen this trend taking a life of its own and progressing to previously unseen levels of information dissemination. I myself being of the Internet generation have always relied on getting my information from various sources via the net. A very strong argument that I myself subscribe to is that the local media be it the newspapers, televisions or radios – all are to an unbelievable degree in bed with the Barisan National government. And as I’m feeling the election fever let me go so far as to specifically to put a name to the face behind all the media restrictions, yup unsurprisingly its none other than UMNO.
