Everyone knows our main England-language media love to carry Angmoh pple balls.
But I am surprised one of its former employee openly admits this FACT and even write a Book about it !
The 82 yr old former editor-in-chief Cheong Yip Seng wrote a non-Western perspective is a much-needed service in an era of dangerous geopolitics.
He explained while the Western, English-language media dominates the global market today, its “weakness” lies in what he said was its “bias” and “blatant hypocrisy”. He cited coverage of wars in Ukraine and Palestine as an example. “Double standards” were also in play with regards to Hong Kong, wrote Mr Cheong.
“For a long time, many countries, including SG, would witness a US-led "crusade for human rights". But when Palestinians are being starved and slaughtered in Gaza, the Western human rights crusaders were found wanting,” he said. “The US persisted in supporting Israel, with words and weapons. They did call for a more humane approach in fighting the war, to protect innocent Palestinian lives. But they were mere words.”
“At one of our regular lunches, (Mr Goh Chok Tong) noted that the ST was ‘schizophrenic’,...Its local pages were more like a popular, mass-market product. Not so the section that delivered regional and foreign news, which was upmarket and widely read by regional leaders....Against this backdrop, a non-Western perspective is a much-needed service in an era of dangerous geopolitics, said Mr Cheong.
