Zainuddin advised readers suspicious of the information posted on blog websites to refer to the mainstream media to get the true picture.

I agree with the first part that we shud always be suspicous. To be precise, we should be ‘alert’ on any information from ANY source ( not only blog).

I do not agree on the second part for trusting mainstream media on true picture. Not to say i don’t trust mainstream media, but i cant trust them 100%

1) "Mainstream media" is censored and do not give the "true picture".

2) Read Jeff Ooi or Rockybru: nowadays, editors are frequently called on by the government when they report something the government does not like.

Examples of these:

1) The recent toll hike mass protests were not reported by all mainstream media! You had to read blogs to see the photos that proved such a protest really happened! SHOCKING CENSORSHIP in a supposed democracy!

2) Mainstream media frequently sweep a lot of issues under the carpet: what happened to the AP fiasco, no one held accountable at all? The highways cracking and the overly expensive repairs? Snatch thefts are still happening, what happened to ambitious (if ineffective) plan of installing video cameras at all major streets? Zakaria and his mansion, he’s still in the Klang office! Many many more, reported once, then conveniently forgotten, no action taken.

Anwyay, mine was less direct. :)
