Perhaps it is just me who has a touch of paranoid. The MyPaper article, “They blog, we believe“, which is also reproduced in StraitsTimes, somehow gave me an unease feeling.
1) How often does StraitsTimes reproduce the exact article from MyPaper?
2) The title sounds too simplistic. Reminds me of,
“You say, so I do.”
“You say jump, so I jump.”
“You say run, so I run.”
“You put disclaimer, and mention there is alien in the teacup, so I believe.”
3) Just recently, we had Senior Minister of State (Information, Communications and the Arts) Lui Tuck Yew saying that he does “not think the community itself has done enough to rebut some of those unhelpful comments delivered by fellow netizens”.
Note: bloggers is a subset of netizens.
Hmm…. Maybe. Maybe, it is just cost cutting measure to reprint exact articles, and catchy titles to catch reader’s attention.
