Hopefully we are not disappointed this time. =)Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456885855490544259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028590147052782651.post-39075465098948606692008-03-09T15:47:00.000+08:002008-03-09T15:47:00.000+08:00I personally have stopped reading our local newspa...I personally have stopped reading our local newspapers (used to read them online), not because I see them as pro-government biased, but because I can't seem to find the time. It's a lot quicker to flip through the papers than reading them online, clicking on each article.<BR/><BR/>But I still keep myself updated especially regarding the General Election (which just passed and sent a warning message to our ruling government) as I do check the online news and I do get my fair share of forwarded non-mainstream e-mails and articles.<BR/><BR/>But sometimes you do wonder whether these articles are authentic? The opposition, just like the government, would say anything to get your vote. <BR/><BR/>I supposed it depends on how discerning the readers are... to determine whether the information is true or not.Kevin Siahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884272250626405342noreply@blogger.com
