That is why newspapers like The Star are becoming more crappy everyday and the weight of the papers that you're holding are just purely advertisements. Where is the 60:40 news to ad's ratio anymore. <b>me: erm, that's what I said in my post. they are state owned! I don't know about the ad ratio though</b> The only reason why you are reading biased articles or letters by the newspapers in Malaysia is because they are bought over and owned by the Government.
