You don't watch TV1?Neither do I.

I forgot when was the last time I actually sat down in front of the television and turn on tv1.Heck,I forgot when was the last time I actually switch on the telly in my house,let alone watch it when you can download any tv programs off the net.But back to tv1.I think the only time I watch that particular gomen-owned channel was watching reruns of Transformers at 7pm a few months back.

But now there's another reason to watch this-excuse-of-a-channel: a new show aptly titled: BLOG, where the tv station will invite some prominent bloggers (and if they don't turn up,less prominent bloggers)to give their two cents worth on current issues.And what better way to get attention from the people than inviting the legendary Raja Petra Kamaruddin,the blue-blooded blogger who runs Malaysia-Today.I myself religiously check out that website several times a day for the latest hoo-haas in Malaysian politics, and some revealing secrets spilled by Raja Petra (or RPK,or Pete,or Raja by his legions of fans,or that-bald-mofo-who-keeps-nosing-into-my-business-wtf-b@stard by his detractors) in his insightful columns.It is apparent that with this move,the government wants to show the world that yes,it is more open to criticism;and yes,it is admitting the power of you monkey-bloggers,but is that really the case?After watching it,one can't help but feel his blood boil with anger at the stupidity of the host in asking questions and futile attempt to dart around the real issues.For example it is quite evident that rowdy-poo of a host changed the subject every time Raja Petra said something that showed the government in a bad light,OR give his own excuses and lame explanation on behalf of the government that pays his sorry ass.But then again its still a change from the propaganda that the gomen is spinning on all MSM.Raja Petra did raised several key issues, such as freedom of speech vs stability of a country,anarchism,the separation of power between legislative,judiciary,and executive,and what's the definition of a good governance.So run along now,give yourselves a reason to watch tv1 again.




















But then again,there's always Youtube. Awwww shucks..too bad.
