With today's technology, any innocent misquotation is unacceptable and any deliberate misquotation is unfair to the person, and should be considered as disgusting by all fair-minded persons.
Haris Ibrahim, President of MCLM, took the trouble to analyse how our mainstream media had deliberately misquoted Raja Petra in order to show Najib and Rosmah in good light, enough for him to be quoted: 'Najib says glad truth out about Altantuya'.
The gist of it:
TV3: Prime time news at 8.00pm showing backdrop between two newsreaders: picture of RPK and the words 'Pengakuan Exclusif'.
The Star: RPK: I don't believe PM's wife was at Altantuya's murder scene
Malay Mail: RPK claims Anwar's aides told him of Najib's link to Altantuya's murder
RPK's Statutory Declaration mentioned the need for investigation and that his information was based on one person, 'Bul' (short for Bulat), yet Malay Mail deliberately mentioned Anwar's name as well as 'aides' to give the impression of a conspiracy initiated by Anwar, when in fact, Anwar and Din Merican were asked for their opinions on the reliability of a certain person!
'I do not yet believe...' was twisted to 'I no longer accept the story...'
