I have stopped reading any kind of local newspaper for a very very long time.
Nowadays I get my news either from Malaysiakini or Malaysia-Today or blogs.
I don't bother with news that are potentially biased from local media.
They need to stop insulting our intelligence.
Even Singapore is equally guilty of this media credibility issue.

Who are we to rattle the mainstream media?
Aiseh, da deputy M.I. shouldn't be afraid of 'skeletons in da closet' IF there aren't any, of course! *sniggers
We're just self-conscious citizen who blogs about our 'halaman rumah', makan, wifey/gf/children and the occasional gravy trail that seems to spill over the road. *yawn

Watch out for the clamp-down. I can feel the bad karma already. Just be careful, guys.

Swish!!! Howsy scores a three-point half-court basket for the good guys...
I suspect this has something to do with what Rocky's Bru was talking about in this post.

But then, it is also possible for someone to publish a whole list of blog links that speak half-truths as well, no?
And dare I say, that list would be significantly longer.

Oh look, it's MCA boy vincent trying to discredit government critics again.
The difference between blogs and local media is we have a choice to pick blogs to read, news from both pro and anti-establishment and form our own opinions.
Local newspapers must toe the line or lose their publishing license.
As Howsy mentioned before, we're just here to provide alternative viewpoints.
People are free to read OR ignore.
At least in the world of the Internet, you're given a chance to mature and make the choice and be properly learned, unlike the controlled media where you are being spoonfed.
A pity MCA boy wrote such an elegant piece about spoonfeeding on his blog but he can't grasp the same concept when applied to alternative political views online.
He is either ignorant or a total hypocrite.

I thought you guys were interested in 'alternative' views. Hey, don't blame me for providing a view that is 'alternative' from yours.
Oh dear, what happened to 'don't shoot the messenger'??
Pray tell, why do you keep shooting ME for MY views?

Oh look, it's my DAP buddy shadowfox again.
*waves a friendly hi*
The difference between blogs and local media is we have a choice to pick blogs to read, news from both pro and anti-establishment and form our own opinions.
And you don't have a choice which newspaper you buy every morning? Howsy likes the Sun. I like The Star. I dunno about you, but I call that a choice.
Other than that, thank you for listening to me rant my intellectually bankrupt views.
Sorry for being the misinformed kid here, but my good DAP friend, can you please educate an ignorant kid like myself on the taxation issues, the pricing mechanism, and the duty charges with regards to fuel in Malaysia.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Thank you also, Howsy, for providing us with this platform for intellectual discussion.

Please take your own advice from your own blog. Find out yourself. Don't ask to be spoonfed. *LOL*

Actually, I already know.
That is how I managed to write a long essay on fuel hike which you dismissed as 'rubbish' and led to you insulting my parents. I was hoping you could clear the air over my mistakes which you never did.
Or could it be that you haven't the slightest clue?

You started your 'debates' in the fuel hike issue by attacking and name-calling people for having their own opinions and reasons for protesting the fuel hikes. It is not a surprise that others decided to return the favor and smack you down.
You still don't get it, do you ? People aren't really concerned about alternative views that are better or worse than theirs. It is your arrogance coupled with name calling, verbal attacks that causes others to shut their mind off from views because whatever reasons/logic you provided were totally invalidated by your sarcasm and verbal attacks on others.
You disrespect people, so they returned the favor.
Can't help it if you still feel sore over that issue. After all, as you've always said, no one is allowed to start a blog war except you. It's a shame that things turned out otherwise, even minishorts had to come to your defense.

Seeing as to how both of you refuse to answer my questions, I take it that both of you know nuts.
Confirms what I already knew in the first place.
I am off to work. I miss being a student where I could sit around my computer the whole day and bum around. Bye bye.

hey, don't you howsy gang just bash some one like young vincent-lah -- remind you, howsy, he's your guest. If he's gassy, just bottle him up, don't bother him.
Okay, I'll engage you. Stop being so full of shit apologising for gomen's actions so much so you don't even sypathise with common folks hit by the fuel rise. On one hand Petronas announced RM43.6billion net profits and Des's just started to blog aboput IT and someone like a Tiger barges in and asks why Desi is recycling the same song about questioning Petronas's role and what it owes the Rakyat as a national oil corp (Im in my 2nd year of Blogging, hence covering Petronas's financial years reportage (ending March of each year, latest Mar 31, 2006...) and for Blogging about the single largest business entity with AFTER-TAX PROFIT OF RM43.6BILLION the ilk of Vincent + Tiger are saying Desi -- typical Socialist !- is singing the same old song?
Sometimes a host has the privilege to sign off F***OFF to such arrogance as guests coming into one's home to tell you what to blog about. Now you see there are many tigers and lions besides young V around. Even Pak Lah is becoming a lion-in-the-making after much sniggeruings from the ilk of Vincent clones? (The Q means Desi's guessing/gassing...Off-tiopic here on parting shot, but I think Howsy can give allowance/alooudance, yes! (An exclamation makrt , not a Q like ? as Desi can sometimes be downright rude and presumptious!

Actually, Desi, I explained about the pricing mechanism and hence the reason behind 'socialist' term - very politely even.
Of course you would know that...since you deleted it to prevent people from knowing the truth.

Vincent: Your Explanation was DELTED as I promised earlier as I said I won't dignify any visitors to my Blog who come in as Agitators; the "very politely" manner was not sighted, and I won't use it as a mitigating factor as yiour reputation as an Agent provocatuer" precedes thee. I wish to maintyain my BP low and serene and prefer the company of Miss Sunthi to Miss AtenoLOL, but some humour is beyond thee unless it comes from yours of similar ilk?
My last engagement unless you disturb this small lion. my APologies to Howsy again for "abuse" of thy channel in personal exchanges which I don't really enjoy...I also say Amen that I don't need anymore of such encounters.

Of course my detailed explaination of the fuel pricing mechanism in Malaysia counted for naught, eh?
Howsy, would you like a similar explaination? I will make it detailed. I promise.
Shadowfox, would you want one too?
