NST should stop lying

14.4.2008.

The reason more and more people are turning away from NST, or at least not relying on it for truthful reporting anymore, is simply that it is lying through its teeth. The case in point is its write up on the UMNO meetings in Kedah and JB this past few days. The spin is that UMNO is still solidly behind AAB, when in fact at both these meetings the only solid resolution made was for AAB to go. Let's see tomorrow what NST has to say about the meeting of the Perak UMNO divisions in Ipoh today. From a member who attended, the state also is solidly at one in asking that AAB should leave. What is it with NST that it thinks the readers are uninformed? Or are the spinners believing their own spin ?

I understand the next meeting is in NS. I've also heard that one of the divisional heads has sent a letter to the supreme council. As to the content, one can easily guess, it coming from one of the scores of divisional heads in the country who were not included in the misguided lineup for GE12.
