    We will be having the Presidential Election on July 9 and there are only two candidates. Some TV station owners are clearly supporters of one of the candidates and their political views influenced the news they broadcasted.

    I just hate watching news on TV these days.

    I have to agree with the two above posts. It's an unfortunate fact that the majority of the news around the world is biased in one way or another. I like how they convince people to put themselves in a box, pinning one another against each other only to find out a politician is a politician no matter which "side" they are on.

    They did that in India as well, thankfully the public didn't fall for that non-sense.

    World cup for the win! I have set my option for the president already, so no need to watch those news. Yesterday matches were very entertaining :D

    Unfortunately most people here are easily steered by the media

    Surfing around and suddenly... hey i think i know this topic :v

    Yup... now in Indonesia, whether in social media, news, television, internet and real life is full of this P vs J thingy IMO (Well... apart from World Cup)

    But sadly almost most of them is just mocking other president candidates... which is pretty iritating when the president candidates himself don't even mocking his rival

    Well... i watch FOX, NatGeo, BBC Knowledge, and other foreign TV everyday recently actually
