SPH and MediaCorp in trouble and staff to leave ?

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Heard that the continued lower ranking of the Singapore State Press in the bottom quartile has finally taken its toll. In 2014, it was ranked 150th amongst 180 countries. Readership has dropped dramatically and people are moving to alternate media in great numbers. The continued lack of credibility coupled with the rise of the internet may actually force the prostitutes of Toa Payoh to reflect on their deeds.

Heard even senior staff are affected. The question is will the PAP Government throw a life line to some of these journalists who have done a sterling service for the PAP as they did for the senior Chua Sister. The lady is back in the civil service in PMO. I guess they have to or place them in GLCs in order to retain their loyalty.

Also heard that the Aljunied hawker centre ceiling cleaning incident did a lot of damage where the state press is concerned where bias reporting was prominent. The Brompton Folding Bike case was another where the a netizens broke the story which led to a prosecution.

The irony is that Stomp the rubbish blog masquerading as citizen journalism has the second biggest readership after Zaobao, even beating Strait Times. That is analogous to saying that Proton Saga is a better performing car than Ferrari. How did it come to this. And now there is petition to close it down for driving poor behaviour.
