Haven't you noticed that local TV (especially the English channels) always like to feature foreigners, especially angmohs? (I'm not talking about the TV serials....I'm referring to the local documentaries, etc.).
Whenever they interview some people, or feature some people....many turn out to be angmohs. For example, in the Get Reel episode featuring Geylang, an angmoh was featured. In the Get Reel episode on converting religions (just shown 1-2 days ago), some angmohs were featured although there are many locals who have converted too. Talk about no smoking in pubs, also must feature angmohs.
Besides the above examples and Eye For A Guy, there are many other examples....
I have nothing against other nationals, races, etc....and this is not about jealousy or anything. This is about not giving the wrong impression of being a propaganda machine (eg. trying to bulldoze the idea across that FTs should be welcomed, etc.). This may rightly or wrongly give the impression that brainwashing is a top priority of the media.
Brainwashing is the intent and it has always been ever since the MIW said the media has to be part of the "nation-building effort"..but sadly that required a lot of parroting that the real media players are not likely to be seen on national TV.
