Fresh Grad – Is TOC really the balance they claim to be?

0

Dear SGHardTruth Community

As a newly minted bizad grad with no more exams to worry about and no more deadlines to meet and no job yet, I’m totally feeling the withdrawal symptom!
Just when I was feeling restless, the AGO report happened. I thought it’ll be really interesting to find out how the government governs itself and so I trawled the net for more information. One article from TOC particularly piqued my interest. It had a table detailing the lapses by PA which sort of summarised all their lapses.
BUT, when I dug deeper, I found that TOC had  purposely accidentally missed out information / explanation which was published by either the AGO or PA itself.
Selective reporting much, TOC?

I also read with amusement that TOC’s claim to be more balanced that the mainstream media. With such selective reporting, is TOC really the balance they claim to be?

You decide  🙂
