If you have been following TOC, you might have realised that it is not the same TOC it was when it was under that Andrew guy. Something is different, it looks the same, but it is not. Then I read TOC: Nine “Main Stories”, only one original and there it was, my epiphany. The quality of TOC has plunged and the doubt was seeded some time ago. A recent one seed of TOC CMI was that infamous TOC photo during the Hougang by-election when Desmond Choo, cleverly used by TRE, was depicted as refusing to shake Png Eng Huat's hand. Coincidence that TRE chanced upon that single photo from TOC album and fixed Desmond to show that political karma does exist? No. Also no coincidence that TOC and TRE have been dating each other like love birds, like their Online/Offline courtship. TRE's crappy journalism influence rubbing off on TOC LOL!
Worse is that TOC attracts zombies in its Facebook page. OK some Facebook comments are good and really constructive, but many others are really facepalm. Well, excusable if the comments are made by teenage kids. Point to note. I make stupid comments now and then in my blog but at least I'm anonymous! I won't make stupid comments in Facebook using my real name for all my colleagues, friends and foes to see and spread. Unless these Facebook accounts are..OMG fakes! Take a look at these TOC Stomp-like Facebook mickey mouse club members who are lead weights drowning a TOC struggling to stay credible and afloat. No wonder TOC does not bother about its quality nowadays as its readers are usually diehard cheerleaders who can't tell apart TOC Then and TOC Now. TOC and its Facebook fans are encouraging each other downhill.
This fan whining on martial law when the thread was about a Today article on Shan's new framework on neighbourly conduct like - I can cook curry all I want but you can't complain. Different standards though about playing mahjong? Ahem. A guideline to encourage people to get along as neighbours when they don't is tantamount to martial law? Facepalm.
This fan ranting about our mostly useless politicians when the thread was about a CNA article on the Lemon Law starting in September. WTF Complaining about the government when the topic is on consumer rights and refund-return-repair responsibilities? Guffaw.
I read Public House. You should too. LOL

Actually, you should not judge any site for the quality of their comments. Have you ever read the comments of papers such as the Washington Post?
ReplyDeleteSecondly, their article on the SDP's health care proposal is very good.
The main problem seems to be that it is hard to attract many people to one website who might disagree with each other. So instead of ranting, why do you not start contributing to TOC yourself?
TOC is doing fine by itself with its pool of contributors. Don't need my prata LOL!

Actually, you should judge the site for the quality of comments. I am totally judging the site for the quality of its comments and I am sure everyone does too. And my conclusion is that TOC is being read by retards. Anyone serious about politics wouldn't be caught dead reading it.
ReplyDeleteLOL good smack in the head! No lah, still must read TOC, to understand what the retards think. Besides, once in a while got sharp insights in the comments which makes it all worthwhile, although such insights are often unfortunately inundated by the retard comments.
DeleteHahaha. SDP health proposal is one of the worse lots in the world. Unsustainable.
ReplyDeleteReally? I can't comment as have not read it yet. Will do it soon for laughs if it is that crap!
