It is well known and a fact. So maybe they should have a section for all those paid and reporters being 'entertained' news.  But it is also readers fault lah. Reading also need to use brain lor. If you believe everything they report then who to blame? 

If reader has to fact check every news they read, might as well don’t read.

LHL to Umbrage:

Apologize you idiot!

Speaking to the media on May 8, Shanmugam said that both the reporter and Mediacorp editor-in-chief Walter Fernandez knew that taking money from advertisers did not automatically compromise an outlet's independence.

"If that were so, most newspapers in the world would not be considered independent because most newspapers do, in fact, completely rely on advertisements," he continued.

However, he noted that the question was a fair one, since the journalists should naturally be concerned with editorial independence.

"Mr Ng's reaction, and the way he answered the question, I think was very unfortunate," the minister said.

"His outburst can be described in stronger terms, but I want to be careful and understated, because SPH is a listed company, with shareholders, management, and I need to be careful."

🤣🤣

i wonder why he needs to be careful ?

it's either

1. someone remove him.

2. he remove someone.

3. shutdown sph

there's nothing to be careful about.

his reaction, his action, his past actions, sph situation, all demands an action on the part of the shareholders.

True but you still need to listen, see and read what is around you and do your own judgement. If you just trust one source, then you will be misled along the way.

SPH needs another urgent restructuring to replace their CEO.

If he had managed to make the share price of SPH spike like this instead of just the search interest in the word 'umbrage' and 'SPH', I would not be taking umbrage at his behavior!

Once you take money from advertisers, how could you maintain independence?

Haven't they heard of

拿人手短

One can't possibly bite the hands that feed him.

She is also old bird.. it's silly to think she scared take money from say.. cocacola,  means cannot report news about Pepsi. Serious journalist in Singapore aren't worried about that.

Advertiser is just broad term for the pap govt.

Already ranked 160(?)... going to compete with north Korea soon.

It could be true that he and many like him aren't elite like those directly connected elites. However, it has proven the route cultivated through the army gave them the wrong mindset and training not suitable for public sectors. So, it is now that the government need to look into which other organisations are filled with generals and connels. I know it is not just sph. 😁

Well despite the backlash from the public, these paper generals and the like are still being parachuted in. I would think the main reason is only they have absolute submission.
