How credible are we?

Our own Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin (ZAM) now have taking steps to control Net media. You can read it (here, here and here).

“We need to have a similar form of control over Internet media and blogs, as the medium is used to spread unfounded allegations that pose a threat to national security and racial unity,” he added.

Basically what he is saying is that "mainstream media had gained credibility because of the laws making them responsible for what they published."
I say this is not entirely true. Most of the bloggers, blog or write for their own satisfaction. It's not a job. It's their own way of expressing themself. SO most of them write about what they like. They do research too. Although most of them was based on the Internet, but still it's a research. It was backed by others. So how can you say that bloggers didn't have credibility? Bulls**t.

Mainstream media sometimes did the same. They just do their research in the internet and come up with an articles. Do you guys remember the stupid journalist and editor who 'rocks' the anime and manga fans. (here) The journalist writes an articles with a totally wrong facts. It was a very hot topic last time if I can recall.

So, it was wrong for you to write an article with the wrong facts. Get your facts right. Today I found another article with a wrong fact. It's about Joey. The author wrote that Joey attracted to Gina but the facts is Gina's is his sister. The point here is how can ZAM says that Net media isn't credible? You should probably make sure the mainstream media deliver the facts right and as a whole first. If they are, there's no need for people to turn their heads to Net media. It's all because there is so much information here than mainstream media.

What can I say, lately all you can read in the mainstream media was the story of Siti and her datuk or Mawi and his ex-fiance. Blargghhh....
