Mega's accusation

Mega's accusation of the press

From Bisnis Indonesia

The mass media needs to react to President Megawati's accusation that the press has blown the deportation of migrant Indonesian workers in Nunukan out of proportion by refraining to report anything connected to her as a President or a private person.

This may be what Megawati wants, given that she is a tight- lipped introvert who cannot stand criticism.

There are many other news stories more interesting than those about Megawati, a person whose words and deeds are very poor in quality. I always skip reading or watching stories about Megawati in the newspaper or on TV. On the other hand I read or watch carefully, and enthusiastically, what observers critically say about the President's statements.
