Harian Metro, Jumaat 19 Januari 2007

Berita muka hadapan mengenai gig (pertunjukkan musik) pencemar Ma'al Hijrah. Laporan itu turut menyiarkan perbualan antara wartawan dan penganjur gig tersebut. Tetapi, setelah menghubungi Jimbo, sah, perbualan itu adalah fabrikasi/rekaan semata-mata. Mungkinkah Metro ketandusan berita? Dimana etika seorang pemberita? Mungkin 'timing' gig itu tidak betul atau 'flyer' agak menyingungkan ( ia direka dengan konotasi - lawak), tetapi bukankah wartawan sepatutnya melapurkan kebenaran?

Demam.
