You’ve been warned:if newspapers Die … Companies will see sales slump, citizens will make important decisions in the dark

You might think that’s was an originally created headline. No, it isn’t. It was published on TodayOnline, I kid you not.

Let’s see one fantastically reliable and credible quote.

The truly vital role newspapers fill, though, is informing readers about the day’s events and details of key issues. Even though it’s easy to find out what’s happening by reading headlines on a phone or watching television, few media other than newspapers reliably provide the “why” that leads to understanding the issues.

That’s right. Without the newspapers, we wouldn’t know Minister Mentor God Lee Kuan Yew makes accurate predictions like “golden period” etc. Of course, without the Straits Times, we wouldn’t know our government rocks their socks off right?I mean, hell we have a fantastic government, we are living in utopia. Without ST, I bet you wouldn’t know that.

Also, without ST, i also bet you wouldn’t know playing computer games will lead to suicide. I guess that’s what the title meant by “citizens making important decisions in the dark”. Without the ST, parents will allow their kids to play World of Warcraft and other dangerous online games, that will lead to the virtual reality manifesting in real life, and our kids will start dropping like flies, literally. Thanks to the ST, such a catastrophe has been avoided. The list can go on forever, I can’t possibly list down all the good work the ST does.

Helping me make important choices in the light is definitely something ST does wonderfully.Because of the constant reminders of how great our government is, I will be casting my vote for PAP monkeys in the next elections. perhaps cross out the PAP candidate and draw a monkey/dog there, and tick at the box. I wonder will this be counted as voting for the PAP?

Oh did i remind you not to click and read that article? It devoted 2 pages out of 4 telling us about the pros of advertising in the newspapers and the great benefits, rather than discussing the objective of newspapers, which I thought is reporting the truth.
