– does that imply that the media should be a tool for someone else?
Do not be manipulated by Opposition, media told
KUALA LUMPUR: The print and electronic media have been told to be responsible in reporting news and not be manipulated by the Opposition.
Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said the mainstream media must also be wary of certain Malays who allowed themselves to become tools to opposition parties and foreign political agendas.
He said that under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s leadership, the public had been given the opportunity to voice out their grievances but certain quarters took advantage of that freedom.
He said some newspapers had also become the tools of non-governmental organisations.
Zainuddin said this during a media night with editors and journalists here yesterday.
