How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Government fed by the people

Just an example of why we should not be watching news on television.

I happened to watch news at 8 pm on NTV7 and Anwar was shown giving a speech (but no audio!) similar to this pic...

As expected, more coverage was given to PM's speech giving credit for Indians' contribution in the past in Malaysia's road and rail development, at a gathering of IPF members. DPM's speech on why there is no need for a change in government: since the train is moving smoothly, why stop it? This analogy to me is so funny because the train happens to be BN's gravy train without the rest of the people in it! This is all the more why we should stop this particular train.
