Why is the Malaysian Media so Biased?

Okay honestly, I'm the kind of person who doesn't really care about the government. I know that their corrupted, and that they are power hungry. Of course I'm not saying that the whole entire government is bad, we do have a "little" good politicians and government servants.

Anyway, being in Kuala Lumpur, I heard about the riot that was going on in downtown KL to protest the ISA. About 10,000 people were reported to participate in the act. Chaos went down in Kuala Lumpur and a major jam everywhere happened.

I then decided to go online to look for a story about it. I went to http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/8/2/nation/20090802071809&sec=nation and found that the article posted by the Star Newspaper is so biased. They didn't report the news properly and were focused on saying that the protesters were the one who was at fault. I felt that this was totally unfair and I know that the Malaysian media are all controlled by the local government.

However, I came across this other website, not a Malaysian one reporting a good cover of the story, not supporting the government and not supporting the protesters as well. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124912276548999015.html I find that more stories like this should be shown to the Malaysian public to let them know what really happened. From my view, if people don't do something about it and put Barisan National down, our government system will never change.
