Do your Homework

My day will not be complete if I were to be deprived of news; this is how I keep myself in touch of what’s happening both in the country and the world. I don’t read the newspaper anymore except for the Saturday STAR. Oh, yeah I do read online news too, which sometime also can be misleading.

Anyways, what are more frustrating then not getting the accurate and on time news, is watching the newscaster reading the news (TV3, ASTRO Ria, channel 502). Sometimes you cannot help thinking, what were these people thinking of? They have no clues of what they were reading about, their pronunciations are bad, and their attire, so sad and, their faces were plastered with layers of make up. They have no originality to mention the least.

I can’t remember how many times I have called TV3 to correct them, especially on the countries that they were mentioning or they will attached wrong name to the wrong face. Well, like the norm of every where you call, you will be given the runaround before you get to the right person.

You understand, or may be you will excuse the newscaster when they mentioned certain situation and got the country mixed up example Austria and Australia, but what’s more amazing is that TV3 proudly flashed the byline in bright yellow, I mean bright yellow of the same mistake. Hello, is there anyone at all in that station checking your work before going on air? Wake up people, we are not dumb and we just don’t believe what was given to us anymore.

I don’t think so that I am the only audience who would have called them to correct such error, right? We are educated Malaysian and we want the best to be given to the public, but these people who own the station, how can I deduce, errors are meant to be, dumb and stupidity should be their motto of the day.
