Joceline Tan's bias was obvious


"To date, only DAP publicity secretary and PJU MP Tony Pua has attempted to explain the deal. He implied that his MCA rival Chua was shooting in the dark but reporters who covered his press conference on Thursday felt Pua himself was taking shots in the dark.
Pua could not explain why, after the debt recovery, debts owed to three Selangor GLCs had yet to be settled. Nor did he have answers for why the state paid above-market value for land saddled with encumbrances."

It would appear she did not know or read Tony's blog post...
Selangor Did Not "Overpay" for Talam Land
Tony Pua just tweeted: 'couldn't believe his ears when @drchuaslargued that DAP has so far remained completely silent on the so-called "RM1 bil S'gor land scandal"
Joceline completely ignored Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad's revisit on Talam's debt recovery exercise, which amply explained how well it was restructured without requiring injection of funds as are common with BN's quick fixes:
As a journalist, it is imperative that she looks at both sides of any argument before forming her opinions. That she chose to look at only one side of the story and formed her opinions only showed her obvious bias towards MCA. The reason is also obvious because The Star is owned by MCA.

I have to force myself to read some of the biased articles in the mainstream papers and watched similarly biased news coverage on national television. In the process, it is a case of either be uninformed for not doing so or be misinformed for doing so.
