  I think ST splashing Christopher Lee's case on the front page yesterday was a good example of diversion from the real issues.

  They usually only splash LKY, LHL, or some really VIP minister's face on the front page. I took it yesterday Christopher Lee was on par with them.

  Yes, biased for true news, reported as is, no artificial flavorings or preservative. What's more, it's free.

  No such thing as the truth or true news. All are different arrangement of facts to attract readership and make profit. No profit, no news.

  My household has not subscribed to the 140th for 10 years, and I am proud of it.
  
  It's full of sensationalism, quoted news from wire agencies, and shockingly one-sided op-ed pieces which when read, makes me seriously nauseous because I can never comprehend such drivel that lacks a fair coverage of issues.
  
  Not to mention that this newspaper is nothing more than a government gazette.

  I subscribe to RSS feeds from TIME and BBC. I find those from CNA too optimistic, but at least it updates frequently and happens to be the only place to get Singapore News.
