fiestas' focus

i wish not to comment on media bias
for me.. there is biasness..
right from the start
right from the moment
the reporter 'choose' to make
a coverage on certain / that issue
by his/her own interest
or by his superior directive..

this is about.. media focus..
when making a coverage on an issue
the way they would publish it..

for instance..

at the time Pak Lah was 'trying' to explain
the reasons for his cabinet reshuffling..
the media.. decided to put Siti Nurhaliza's face
on 2/3 of the front page..

plus.. there wasn't even a small photo
of Pak Lah... for that article of 400 words..

while, Siti's 10 cm x 15 cm photo
which only had 10 words saying...
Siti akan umum pasal perkahwinan dia kelak..
(or something to that fact)

get the reality?
it bites.. real hard too..

ok.. now.. let try to put in
some common sense and perception..

Kerajaan / Kementerian
adalah decision makers.. policy..
and definitely in control of the main stream medias..

Media..
got Editors.. and profit-oriented
(sorry to say.. more often than not)
less morally responsible nowadays..
'survive' through its profits..
meaning, kalau orang tak baca and beli..
tak 'hidup' suratkhabar tu..

(err.. how many month was
the reporters' bonus for last year again?)

Public..
yang telah dimomokkan
dengan bahan hiburan
dari bukak mata hingga kan nak tutup mata..
dari pagi sampai petang..
artis artis artis...

contoh nyata..
Kementerian nak kempen something la kata..
Kempen Tak Nak! or Kempen Mari Membaca..
masa nak launch kempen..
who you gonna call?
(eh, macam cerita ghostbuster la pulak)
tak lain tak bukan... artissss... penyanyi..

sebab? kalau takde 'show'..
orang ramai tak datang..
so... 'tak jadi' la acara tu
and tak de 'ummphhh' la kempen tu..
agaknya...

satu topik lain.. but related..
Karnival Sure Heboh / Jom Heboh..
(yang lebih merupakan.. Jom Kepoh..)

contoh..
kalau betul nak kumpul duit
untuk tolong orang.. senang je time tu..

tapi.. TV3 salah focus..
untuk masuk ke Karnival... free of charge..
then.. di akhir konsert (again, artis)..
akan dimaklumkan berapa ramai yang hadir
sepanjang weekend/minggu tu..

sebagai contoh.. kat kuching or jb..
selalunya cecah 300,000 orang
pelawat / pengunjung karnival..

yang aku sedihnya.. - jumlah tabung kutipan
diumumkan hanya berjaya kutip RM 120,000..

kenapa aku sedih?

why not, buat entrance fee RM 1 orang
and maklumkan bahawa fee tersebut
adalah untuk derma/tabung tersebut..
kan ke dapat boleh kumpul RM 300,000 ?

again.. terbukti
focussss ke lain (or takde langsung)
sebab focus depa sebenarnya
bukan sangat pada tabung tu
but, untuk pasarkan produk, advertising
and promosi artis.. of course

tu je di siri ini..
sambung lain karnival..
eh, silap.. sambung lain kali

hehe...
