The tweet exchanges between Datin Paduka Marina Tun Dr Mahathir (@netraKL) and 'spinning' online newsportal The Malaysian Insider and its Chief Executive Officer/Editor Jahabar Sadiq is self explanatory. The necessary links are included for you to read and then THINK. TQ

Malaysian Insider's earlier spin ...
Art of Spinning... The Malaysian Insider way

A call for a more constructive media ―Bridget Welsh

SEPT 24 ― Too much of the reporting on political events within Malaysia is based on fabrications, rather than analysis anchored in research and responsible journalism. There has been noticeable decay in the professionalism of journalists, either from selling out their principles to engage in partisanship, or through the lack of proper mentorship or training
p/s I'm sad that Jahabar is heading to where I fear he is heading to. Stop, think and then think again bro. Trying telling the truth without spinning it. Just give it a try, who knows you may get used to it.
