Hartal : Boycott the lying newspapers!
December 30, 2007
If we’re going to have any chance of a clean and fair general elections, we have to try and stop the dissemination of falsehood to the voters by dishonest, lying news media.
Can we do it?
Don’t know, but I know we must try.
This page links to all postings in this blog, and related comments, to this initiative, and will be updated so that this page will represent a one-stop ‘Hartal : Boycott the newspapers’ centre.
Where possible, I will also provide links to efforts outside this blog related to this initiative.
Like every other initiative started by this blog, this initiative does not belong to me.
It is yours.
Its success or failure is in your hands.

You must do more to promote this campaign. More M’sians must take part in this boycott. I myself stopped buying newspapers from 1999 but started again in 2004. I will stop paying RM1.20 per day to read the bunch of lies published daily. Imagine you actually pay money to read rubbish daily. The money I save, will go towards subscribing to Astro’s news channel.
Keep up the good work and you must promote this campaign.
More Malaysians must stop buying these newspapers and teach them to report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

As I have commented elsewhere, I must highlight this again. You will need the support of news vendors for this boycott. Their livelihood will be affected by this very action. We need to devise an alternative solution to aleviate the hardship they may have to face while taking action on this. How about listing out the papers we want to boycott and gave out a list of those we want to support? That means, while we hit at those papers that print lies, we encourage those which tell the truth.
