The Future Under King George III?


This from an article at Boing Boing.
It is not the role of journalists or newspapers in Singapore to champion issues, or campaign for or against the Government. (...) If a columnist presents himself as a non-political observer, while exploiting his access to the mass media to undermine the government’s standing with the electorate, then he is no longer a constructive critic, but a partisan player in politics.

The target is "mr brown" [Ed.: aka Lee Kin Mun], Singapore's most famous blogger who wrote a newspaper article a tad too critical of the government.

Links to the article and his blogsite are over at Boing Boing.
