I have been an avid reader of malaysiakini for more than a year now and I must say I personally feel the website could use a little more independence and objectivity.
And a good place to start would be with Zunar's cartoons . I found his 'Endon-scopic' sketch far from amusing. In fact, it was outright insensitive.
What I find more amusing than his cartoons is his restricted lampooning ability, confined to only the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, other ministers and government policies. I would term this lopsided humour.
It's funny that he never sees anything funny happening in the opposition's camp. Maybe Nik Aziz's heart attack would make a great parody like 'Endon-scopic'. But God forbid should anyone find humour in another's suffering.
Having a one-track mind cartoonist does not augur well for an organisation that insists on objectivity and independence.
