Mr Iswaran observed that the local media help interpret global events through a distinctively Singaporean lens, and act as a glue that binds rather than divides society.

"Domestically, the local media not only report on events and developments, but also publish a balanced range of views, to inform the national debate and help foster a national consensus, not allowing disagreements to deepen into divisions in our society," he said.

I like how this 160 rank reporter use gahmen minister's quote to prove that her newspaper is balanced

labelling it as a "premium article" adds a veneer of credibility

We're 160th now right? Just 18 more places to move downwards to the last place of 178th. 

With SPH media now fully funded by the gov, of course they will have to listen to the grand paymaster and shed all remaining ounces of credibility, especially when politics or touchy subjects of national interests (aka CECA etc., Covid oversights) are concerned. This is the inevitable. 

Well, nothing much change other than government pumping in more money for it's survival. 'Credibility depends on what 'news' you are reading. Accident in Jurong, ponding due to rain or which minister going where are definitely accurate. However, they cannot tell the difference between riot and demonstration.

You've hit the nail on the head. Selective credibility will continue as the order of the day. If it's a riot against opposition parties, it will be downplayed as a peaceful demonstration. Nothing wrong, let's move on.
