The People’s Parliament committee for Hartal-MSM, of which I am a member, held a press conference (PC) at the Blog House in Damansara this morning to launch a civil society initiative to boycott the mainstream media (MSM). It was well attended by the MSM, other print media and well-wishers. (Read reports of the PC by Malaysiakini , here, and Malaysians Unplugged Uncensored, here).
This initiative was born out of a genuine concern in society over how news reported by the MSM did not always tally with facts. For a start, we are advocating a 'Newspaper Free Tuesday'. (For more details on the PC and the media statement, go to the People's Parliament website, here.)
Watch the Malaysiakini.tv video recording of the PC here: http://www.malaysiakini.tv/video/15422.html
Hartal-MSM has also started a ‘Boycott the Newspapers!’ online petition. The petition can be accessed and signed online at: http://www.petitiononline.com/hartal/petition.html
I will not miss the news in MSM but I will miss rolling up something to swat flies or errant offsprings.

ReplyDeletebull, i have stop buying the "authorities paper" STAR for the past weeks. and to the Wongs, please dont be a hypocrite and attending weekend spiritual sessions wont absolve your hypocrisy.
I have abstained from buying the mainstream printed media for some months, and have never watched or listened to RTM for aeons.
ReplyDeleteLies, twisted facts, propaganda, misinterpretation and bullshit is news I do not want.
Paying to be lied to adds insult to the injury.
Good luck with the boycott.
