the pot calling the kettle black
Following the mini-saga (as portrayed by the nation builder press) or big-saga (as reported by non-nation builder presses) caused by our dear founder of Singapore, the no integrity journalism has an ENLIGHTENING article on it last Saturday.
I read and read, and read and read again... where I found the world most ironical sentences in the article "Non-bumi rights crop up once again" by Reme Ahmad on 30 September 2006, The Straits Times.
And this paragraph I termed it as "the pot calling the kettle black"
"The mainstream pro-government English-language papers - the New Straits Times and The Star - remained comparatively muted in their coverage. They reported the news and did not editorialise. "
Wow! COMPARATIVELY MUTED...
And since I didn't really understand the meaning of editorialise so I went to check the online dictionary and it is defined as "1. to set forth one's position or opinion on some subject in, or as if in, an editorial. 2. to inject personal interpretations or opinions into an otherwise factual account."
Both are as black as the Reporters without borders Press Freedom Index has suggested, if not blacker.
