I've chanced upon an interesting blog recently, one written by a former opposition party member.
Beats me why, but politics is something that's becoming more and more interesting to me. I love reading the Straits Times, critisizing the ST articles. Remember the recent post, with 8 in 10 ST readers saying that ST is important in their lives? They report it like its a big achievement.
Read the words carefully my dears. 80% of readers, not 80% of Singaporeans. Obviously, if u're already reading something, u've got to think its impt thats why u're even bothering spending time on reading it right? If not, u wouldn't even be reading it would u?? AND, I must say that saying ST is impt to my life doesnt necessarily mean that I think ST's a great paper and reports stuff I find is of educational value to me. If i had been polled in that survey, I would say, Yea!!! ST is definitely important in my life!! Know why?
Cos I can't wait to find out each and everyday what new tricks the ones up there have up their sleeves. I can't wait to see what's hogging the front page. I can't wait to find out what new excuses the transport minister has to say about the NEW fare hikes. I can't wait to discover what the longest reigning minister in Singapore has to say about how his team of talented, uncorrupted, high-paid bunch of fellow ministers contribute to the continuing peace, prosperity and progress in Singapore.
Yea, thats why ST is so important a read in my life.
I find myself occupied with things less impt than reading the ST. So, no ST's not a part of my life. Although I know it ought to be. For now, I'm living by 9pm news.
