Boycott mainstream media?

Is it time for us to boycott the mainstream media? Yesterday was certainly a black day for all mainstream media. The peaceful demonstration was totally banned in all mainstram media. China Press was the only paper that reported on this news(only in a small column without any picture). The news is biased that they described those who protested as "bad people". In fact the police were the culprit as they had spoiled a peaceful demonstration. The people tried to ran into Suria KLCC to protect themselves being hurt by the FRU and police. However the police made all their way into the shopping mall to arrest those people.What an uncivilise act by them!

Why is China Press the only paper who reported on this issue? To compensate their chief editors being sacked for the nude squat video? This shows us that what we read in our newspaper is what the government wants us to know. What they do not want us to know, you will never know! This is indeed scary! Media should act as a check and balance on the government. Wonder whether the scene "V for Vendetta" would ever happen in our country!

Here are some blogs regarding the protest in KLCC
