The art of professional ass-kissing

Headlines like, Government ‘fighting graft well’, is freaking misleading (I was going to use the 'F' word, but I'll trying to keep it civil). And it's a SHAME on The Star for kissing the government's big ass all because the General Election is around the corner. Oh wait, you kiss it all the time.

If the government is really 'fighting graft well' (puke, puke) then why is it in the same article, you wrote the following?

It also found that 18% of Malaysians believed that corruption would decrease in the next three years while 63% thought it would increase.

Malaysians gave a ranking of 3.7 to the police in their perception of the corruption they perceived to exist in various sectors and institutions. (1 indicates not at all corrupt, while 5 indicates extremely corrupt). Political parties got a ranking of 3.6 while religious bodies were ranked 1.9.

Transparency International Malaysia’s president Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam said the findings showed that the people still did not have enough confidence in the Government’s efforts to fight corruption where the Anti-Corruption Agency lacked resources and tough legislation.

Oh...I guess that would be the "cover you ass" part where you put in some facts in so that you will look professional and then we cannot say that you are bias in your reporting.

So if those were the facts? What's with the stupid title?

And then you report the PM is happy with the recent survey on free and fair elections in the coutry. Of course he is happy - probably laughed until his tummy ache when he read it. Who the hell did they surveyed anyway?
