从《给阿嬷的信》到毕丹星:主流媒体频频失误,信任何在?

从围绕电影《给阿嬷的信》(Dear You)引发的文化风暴,到对毕丹星(Pritam Singh)事件大动干戈且高度政治化的报道,公众对主流媒体的信心正处于一个关键的转折点。在许多读者看来,新闻界似乎已经从社会的客观镜鉴,变成了一个主动的参与者,甚至屡屡陷入判断失误和意识形态过度的泥潭。

当一部带有温和地方方言色彩的电影被放大在激进且过度敏感的棱镜下——将有机的社区文化遗产贬低为地缘政治威胁时,媒体便疏远了它本该服务的公众。同样,当政治审判被套上激烈且不容置辩的叙事框架,而非接受审慎的审视时,受众自然开始质疑编辑室的独立性。

信任并非一朝一夕所能摧毁,而是在一次次对细微境况的误读和条件反射式的评论中消磨殆尽。在信息去中心化的时代,主流机构承担不起低估公众智慧与独立思考能力的代价。如果主流媒体继续捕风捉影,或者执迷于可预见的政治姿态,受众自然会转向他处寻找真相。信任必须通过文化谦逊和严谨的客观性来赢取,而不是理所当然的索取。

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...
