freedom of speech?

This morning, near the KLCC park, there was a demonstration organized by Writers' Alliance for Media Independence (WAMI). They said that all of the main media streams in Malaysia are against freedom of speech and were controlled by political parties. They protested the interference of political party in main stream media, so they demonstrated by reading the main stream newspaper as you can see above upside down. They said that, they can see the messages in the newspaper in different point of view or in easier word, they didn't trust and respect any main media stream in Malaysia. Fortunately, there was a brave and courages group of NGOs who also participated in the demonstration by reading 'harakah daily' and 'suara keadilan' upside down. These groups of NGOs also wanted to protest against all of the sensitives and slanders news brought by these newspaper.

Based on my point if view, they cannot blame all of the main media stream totally especially the main newspaper such as utusan , berita harian and others that against the freedom of speech. If we go through any of the opposition newspapers, all that the readers can find out are mostly slanders and accusation to the federal government that for me are totally craps and just aims to influence people negatively. For example, zambry kadir cases, the opposition newspaper accuse him as the terrorist when he had a visit to US and after all it was totally wrong and for the recent by election, there was a lot of propaganda and sensitive issues just to raise people sympathy . After all, both sides try to defend their political survival but in different attempts and ways. Here, I want to stress that in this globalization world, we as the educated and new generation people should use our mind to filter and differentiate any news and information whether it is true or not, not matter which newspaper we read, opposition or mainstream medias.
