I think it was two nights ago when I watched either the 8.00 pm English news on NTV7 or the midnight news on TV3, when MP Wee Choo Keong was shown giving his biased opinions about DAP pulling out of Teoh's Commission of Inquiry because he gathered from insiders that the party knew it was suicide and did not expect PM to set up the CI! Wow! National news based on hearsay, he being a lawyer, and everybody in politics knows he has an axe to grind with DAP leadership since many years ago.
The other person was Tan Tee Beng, who has just joined KITA, a renamed mini party now helmed by Zaid Ibrahim. His joining the party was given prominence on national television too!
Why would our MSM do that? Well, being controlled by the ruling party, any bad news or anything that could put the opposition coalition in bad light deserves highlighting. I for one would not be influenced by such biased reporting, but our media people are so used to pleasing the leaders.

They should dedicate a national channel for FROGS!
The last time I watched TV was to follow the March 2008 elections. I don't watch tv haha...Thank God for the Internet without which I would not be able to get the news and my live telecast of football matches.
Thanks for your comment. Just watched Nightline, and put up with Najib's shameless usual self-praise and dishing of development funds to a constituency having a by-election, coverage on a new party Sesama, etc. etc. Getting too predictable, yet without watching, how are we to criticize?
