Same data for the Olympics, different way of presentation:
Singapore rather covers Thaksin in the front page. That’s because we haven’t won any medals yet. Channel NewsAsia Beijing Olympic site talks about the Olympic spirit, the dance and some Olympic history.
American and U.K. media is feeding you lies about what happened in Georgia the night of August 7th, 2008. CNN claims that Russia invaded Georgia. The truth is Georgia had committed the act of genocide against people of South Ossetia, and Russia had no choice but to protect its own citizens!
I’ve been reading a little on the South Ossetia incident. I haven’t heard of this place before this attack. I thought Georgia is a place in USA actually. But news reports have been bias here. The media seem to pay more attention to Georgia as a victim instead of presenting a more objective view of the situation. This could possibly be due to Russia’s politicians reluctance to release statements on the war, but the media seems to be siding Georgia on this one.
[Note: Most of the news I read is USA new sites.]
The difference between Day 2 and Day 1 of BroadcastAsia is that Day 1 is kinda boring, and Day 2 is kinda more boring. I walked around the whole place got a lot of pamphlets that I later decide not to keep.
I took a lot of pictures by the way, but I’m lazy to log out of Ubuntu to go into Windows to load the pictures and blah. Probably post all the photographs up tomorrow.
I walked over to CommunicAsia 2008 too, it had a boring logo.
And I walked to the CG Overdrive thing too, it had a boring logo too.
What I like about the something-Asia exhibition is the amount of foreigners present. I like foreigners, like to see people from all over the world come together, even if it’s just passing by.
But what I don’t like is this distinguish-ment between local and overseas visitors. The overseas visitor had some sort of lounge and the local visitors don’t have a lounge as far as I notice. Whoever planned for this sort of missed the point of being international. Appears to be a poor joke when all the halls have overseas lounges and there’s nothing for the locals. And by the way, Norway has the most amazing lounge.

The local news is probably edited by patriots or optimistic people. On my occasions, I felt we’re living in an all-loving rosy world. I love you, you love me too. Aw…
Good news sells.
