An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Nearly all social media depend on events and the 38 Oxley was such an event. Totally unresponsive, poor or weak coverage, lack of timely update. They always have press conferences on changing the world but the focus seems to be around Suresh Nair, his friends and Indians. If one of his friends died, you are bound to get an article.
Mothership which has pro government roots and linkages have been very active, pretty much neutral and constant update of developments. Yahoo has had the best coverage. There was also the occasional deviation for SPH with one the notorious Chua sisters writing something sensible and for the first time she actually claimed that Cherian was her ex-colleagues and sided with his views.
$$$$$$$$$$$$ is always first to run with something but you can see they have no idea what is going on but that it is something important.
At the end it was Facebook that carried the day as it provided links and messages on foreign media reports besides providing the platform for the revelations and exchanges. I wonder if any of this would have made the day if there was no FB and WhatsApp?
And then we have SBF. Seriously I get more inside stuff here than anywhere else plus some good views and insights. So what gives?
