Besides God (even if you are an atheist), who do you pledge your allegiance to? Political party, Head of State or Country first? Undecided? Please watch this movie, based on a true story, [<b>The Post</b>](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrXlY6gzTTM) -- A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between the press and the government.  I sincerely pray ALL media owners, editors, journalists and journalist wannabes watch this movie as you are the Check and Balance of any country's governance. You make or break the nation and the future of your children for generations to come. <b>Gentle Reminders:</b> Journalism is what we need to make democracy work. -- Walter Cronkite The quality of life is dependent on the quality of the journalism. Most people don't realize that, but if you think about it, journalism is one of the pillars on which our society is perched. -- Scott Pelley A key purpose of journalism is to provide an adversarial check on those who wield the greatest power by shining a light on what they do in the dark, and informing the public about those acts. -- Glenn Greenwald It is the role of good journalism to take on powerful abusers, and when powerful abusers are taken on, there's always a bad reaction. So we see that controversy, and we believe that is a good thing to engage in. -- Julian Assange <i><b>But this is what is really happening in Malaysia...</b></i> Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring. -- Drew Curtis https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmTNtpSgz9r1QgQKJtA8JfFLBB2e111G8UH3eGcgycJWBc/pat_signature.gif https://steemitimages.com/DQmY8y4SM3t3fRARizrUAMrAYTdfeTzA8wbqKsbeiUh366C/image.png

Couldn't agree with you more Angie. Giving our local journalists the benefit of doubt, perhaps journalists were writing how braindead our politicians are shooting themselves in the foot quoting them word for word and leaving the judgement to the public to decide for themselves the kind of politicians the public elected to office instead? A clever tight slap in the voters' face. However i wish for true investigative journalism to put politicians in check. The tax payers' money and EPF is NOT their personal accounts to do as they wish without accountability.

I recalled there were a few brave journalist that stepped up the game (I read somewhere before on an independent online news site), but sadly they received death threats (bullets in envelopes, etc), some even went into hiding. Sigh. I agree, we need an army of brave journalist to go through this to make it happen.
