YOURSAY ‘When is Utusan Malaysia going to learn? There is no Red Bean Army.’
Utusan: M'kini perpetrator of 'stone age' journalism
Onyourtoes: " Malaysiakini and Red Bean Army want to overthrow the government. Their funding is huge, but they remain silent about it," said Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) Perak chief Hamdan Mohd Salleh.
This statement alone epitomises Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia ’s depraved journalism. Prove it, otherwise Utusan should be charged for incitement, defamation and libel.
Please Utusan , don’t label other news organisations for being unethical and for indulging in controversy or twisting facts. You have the least credential to do this. Malaysiakini and other news portals are operating under most unfair and difficult conditions.
It is Utusan that is the mother and grandmother of garbage journalism, which enjoys protection and financial backing for serving filth and venom to Malaysians.
When is Utusan going to learn? There is no Red Bean Army, there are only Malaysiakini paying subscribers. Utusan must ask the hard question: Why none of us here reads your paper, even for free?
Headhunter: Do we detect load of jealousy and envy here? Malaysiakini is an award-winning news portal. How about your newspaper, Utusan editor Zulkiflee Bakar?
It's not even the ‘pot calling a kettle black’ case here. If you want to improve your own image, start with your editorial propaganda for Umno. But you can't do that, can you?
Well Thats Fantastic: When a media outlet becomes the voice of the people, it is considered wanting to overthrow the government?
Utusan only stays in business because government departments are buying their papers. How is that ethical at all?
This whole article by Utusan editor Zulkiflee Bakar reeks of jealousy that it is not getting anywhere near the numbers of readers Malaysiakini attracts.
Fair Play: Malaysiakini , one up for you. You just landed a sucker punch judging by Utusan’s reaction. Now, if they were to seek public donation, guess what they would likely to get - used toilet rolls from the most obliging public.
Appum: When we have a journalist in Utusan accusing others of bad journalism when they themselves bear the features of insensitive, racist, sensational and outrageous reporting, then you can really discern the quality and qualifications of those who operate this kind of newspaper.
Did Utusan verify the report that the 9/11 terrorist attack was a United States operation? They just parroted former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s speculation .
And in accusing CIA of plotting against MH370, were these verified and proved? Or were they just trying to distract the negative international attention and condemnation from their political masters?
If you are a mass communications student, Utusan would be a perfect media case study. That is the quality they manifest and yet they have the cheek to criticise others. You be the judge.
SpongeBob: The main reason for spite from Utusan is due to its jealousy that it cannot compete on a level-playing field.
Their attack on Malaysiakini’s journalism is very childish. Malaysiakini is there because of people's support and the readers have an opportunity to comment on their stories. It highlights issues relating abuses, corruption, injustice, political nonsensicality and one can go on and on.
Whereas, Utusan only reports Umno propaganda, trivial news and aiding the government in covering up all its weaknesses.
Utusan's journalism is slave-like in nature to a political party. Moreover, Utusan is running at a loss, this shows that it cannot sell its print version nor online version.
One can simply conclude that Utusan's journalism is very suppressive, insulting, misrepresenting, extremely biased and false in nature. At least, Malaysiakini is selling bricks to uphold the principles of journalism but Utusan is prostituting its journalism.
Real Truth: So, you want us to believe that Utusan is reporting facts and only facts? You are a hypocrite of the first order when you yourself are reporting false accusations against the opposition and writing numerous articles against the minorities.
Utusan is in the forefront in dividing this country by implying others as pendatang and asking ‘Apa lagi Cina mahu?’ (What more do the Chinese want?).
Anonymous_40a7: " Malaysiakini just wants to be popular and possibly profit through their stone age journalism practices," said Zulkiflee.
Truth be told, Utusan : if you're looking for the guilty party, you need only look into a mirror.
Anonymous #19098644: This is really laughable. Utusan, which has lost multiple lawsuits for slander and libel and known to be the perpetrator and ‘concocter’ of lies, untruth, racism and extremism, is accusing another party of stone-age journalism.
Louis: Just fancy that. Utusan lecturing Malaysiakini on ethics of good reporting. It is just like an imbecile trying to teach theoretical physics to Stephen Hawking.
