Lord Zam Says That "Bloggers Are Like Karaoke Singers!"

Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin today likened bloggers to karaoke singers who take pleasure in their own singing but have no influence although they claimed to have received millions of hits. He said some people might enjoy their "singing", especially those who shared their views, but many rejected them because they sang "out of tune" and their views were unacceptable to the majority of the people.

He said some of the bloggers were those who had once received the attention of the mainstream media, but were now rejected, and so had to find a new avenue to vent their frustration. However, not many people read their pieces.

"Anyway, I see this development as something positive because with the opportunity to "sing in the karaoke", they can relieve their tension and 'addiction'. "It also provides alternative reading to the public besides making the country more politically matured," he told reporters.

Zainuddin said mercenary and frustrated bloggers who used the blog for their own interest as well as that of certain groups only served to worsen the situation. "The unwise actions of some bloggers tarnish the name of professional bloggers who use technology to spread knowledge, academic discussion, interest in specific fields and other matters of interest to the society," he said.

Zainuddin, who is also the member of Parliament for Merbok, said that although there were numerous bloggers, the mainstream newspapers would ultimately hold sway over the majority of the people. "In fact most of the bloggers hope to be quoted by the mainstream media because they believe that the media can attract readers," he said. (Bernama)

***** Yes, yes Zam. You're absolutely right as usual - bloggers are unemployed ladies or faggots, useless gobloks and uninfluential karaoke singers. But then why the f*** are you so concerned about what they blog? Why do you and your ilk act as if you get the shivers when bloggers expose all the terrible misdeeds which take place in the name of bangsa, agama dan negara? And why is it that only you umnoputeras are so bugged about what is being blogged? I don't see the MCA, MIC, Gerakan and other minor parties worrying about blogs. Something that you don't want revealed perhaps?

If bloggers are that discredited, why do you and the other like-minded halfwits in government spend so much of your time trying to convince the public not to believe them? If truth be told, the average Tom Dick and Khairy have more faith in the internet media and blogs than your government propaganda.
