45 people...a country do not make

If you really want to learn about media propaganda, next time when you see a report that says "(Insert country's citizens label, e.g. Singaporeans) Split on Decision to... (Allow Barred Activists to Enter)", I highly recommend you check how many people were interviewed about their decision.

Last I checked, 45 PEOPLE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A COUNTRY BEING EVENLY SPLIT.

Unless of course, we are talking about a very privileged and wealthy minority. Then, we are really shown in crystal clarity which subgroup of the population they are catering to....

NB: Yes, this is a reactionary post. I will hopefully post something more substantial in the near future.
