Why should S'pore not have free press?

Because there is no such thing as a free, unbiased media body.

If newpapers were allowed to say anything they want, then their pages are as good as sold to the highest bidder!

Think about it.

Precious money would be spent 'buying' publicity. Money that could be better spent elsewhere.

The political party with the richest backers win.

Either way, everyone loses.

Is it better to have polarised media? Mainstream media reports on the dominant political party, while anyone who dissents can easily find the opposition's updates conveniently at their website, or through political blogs.

Hmm.

Lol.
