To-day I read in NST about the power of USA press in influencing the people and the subsequently the governmnet. Dr Mahathir is right about it.That is what I also saw how the press propaganda machine is labouring everyday to justify US attack on Afghanistan.

That reminds me to read a book written by Jefferey Archer called the Fourth Estate. I bought this book in May 1996 while I was in London with my family for a holiday. Now, I see the reasons why UMNO and MCA want to have a controlling stake in the media (newspapers/tv) business.
