it's just idiotic
i don't know what is becoming of our malaysian media. i mean, the events that makes headline in the leading daily is just absurb!
Last Saturday, a celebrity charity sky-diving event made front page news. yes... a charity event is news worthy because the public need more education and awareness to help those that is in need. unfortunately the charity event only had a 2-sentence mentioned towards the end of the report. instead, the report was used to highlight the up-and-coming television serial that some of the celebrity is involved in currently.
Fast forwarding to today, front page story is a wedding annoucement of malaysian darling of pop to some businessman, whom by the way is 20 years her senior. i just don't understand what is the big deal about the wedding. i mean, i'm happy that she has met the love of her life and that they are getting married... but don't you think her decision to wed someone 20 years her senior is any of our problem?? it's not like we know her personally. or are involved in her life in any way...
What about reporting on world issues? Like the terror attacks in Baghdad? Like the earth quake that hit Indonesia late last night? How we can extend our help as citizens of the world? What is the impact of these on the world economy? How the world economy will affect our everyday life here? Why is nature acting up on us? Why all the attacks?
What counts as news-worthiness these days is just absurb!
