COMMENT “The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks about the next election while the statesman thinks about the next generation.” - James Freeman Clarke

Sultan Nazrin Shah of Perak was quoted as saying, “Information is no longer limited to sources that have been filtered and controlled by the authorities.”

The problem with large scale media organisations is that information is always controlled, sometimes even by consumers who show very little tolerance for anything that goes against prevailing sentiments. Echo chambers have always told you what you want to hear.
