[1055] Of Tak Nak NST

Oh heck. What the hell.

With the talk about free speech and all, what are you going to do about it, realistically?

Paste a banner on your blog and then do nothing?

I propose a boycott on NST. Read ’em but don’t buy ’em. Hit them where it hurts the most.

p/s — There might be a misunderstanding caused by this entry. I have nothing against defamation law. NST has every right to seek right of redress from Jeff Ooi and Rocky’s Bru, if Jeff Ooi and Rocky’s Bru are indeed guilty of defamation. By that, I am not implying that Jeff Ooi and Rocky’s Bru have committed fraud or defamation. I am just saying that the post has little relevant to the case, originally.

This post is one of those entries that try to ride on a wave but not actually part of the wave. I am targeting NST not because of the current lawsuit. Rather, it is because of NST’s biased reporting. I do however sympathize with the two bloggers.

Notwithstanding the right, I do not feel the redress NST is seeking is not sufficiently justified. I doubt that the two bloggers have made malicious false statements against NST. If there are strong proofs of otherwise, I would be glad to rescind my sympathy towards the two bloggers and even support prosecution. But I still will not buy NST.

Please differentiate the such right from such justification. I disagree with the justification, not the right. For this reason, I do not plan to endorse “Blogger United” or paste their banner here on my blog. The “movement” seems to deny the right to redress while dismissing NST’s allegation.

John and SiPM might have described what my position on the case.
