Behind every great fall is the media
By Reina SOMETIME in June 1971, President Richard M. Nixon was looking at his daughter’s wedding photo published in the New York Times. His eyes were drawn to the story beside the photo – this was the start of the end for Nixon. The Pentagon Papers. Then came a series of stories in the Washington … Continue reading
Police Misconduct and the Mainstream Media’s Response to it: Malaysia and India
By Malaysian Heart
However serious the challenges that democracy, human rights and justice face in India, their news media seems prepared to play their part, by upholding a journalists duty. As long as our MSM are owned by interested parties, and (more importantly) willing to sacrifice their journalistic integrity to spin stories and spread propaganda for their poilitical masters, we cannot reasonably expect the same from any of them.
Beng Hock-tragedy upon tragedy (pt 3)
By Eyes Wide Open
By trying to justify MACC’s over-enthusiastic fishing expedition, which may have resulted in TBH’s death, JMD is indirectly indicting TBH of being involved in the yet unproven corruption practices of PR politicians. By implying that TBH decided to suddenly and inexplicably kill himself ON HIS WEDDING DAY is insinuating that he couldn’t care less for his wife, unborn child and family. By attempting to exonerate the MACC of all responsibility while it is clear that TBH died while still within their custody is to deny the dead of justice.
This entire article is akin to spitting on TBH’s grave!
I hope you sleep well at night, JMD.
I really do.

How come JMD has so much insider information about the MACC investigation? Since he knows so much, is JMD going to be a material witness to the police? Or is he just passing off 2nd hand information? Or worse – is he fabricating lies to help the powers that be cover up the real case involved?

Recently, Jebat Must Die posted a plausible-sounding but utterly improbable theory on his blog that TBH and TBW (Tan Boon Wah) were so pally with the MACC that they REFUSED to go home after released. He/she bases his entire article’s exoneration of the MACC upon these (and a few other) plausible-sounding “facts” and fantasies. While I respect JMD as a writer of talent and a diligent researcher, I cannot help but feel utterly disgusted by this article.
As for me, being a no-bullshit kind of person, I hereby present my shit-shovelling service to the blog-reading world at large. I present JMD’s article in full, with my comments in red.
