The folks at Mingguan Malaysia today (read: Utusan) looks like they are gloating with delight with their latest news scoop - Raja Petra berada di London?. But they are not sure, hence the question mark.And yet they front paged the news, although the complete write-up was only a short 12 para on page 17 - only for readers to find out that the news was from another source, and the source wasn't even named nor regarded by them (Utusan) as reliable.
Words and phrases like "kini dipercayai", "menurut sumber", "sumber terbabit tidak menyebut" were used, making it as if it's just another of those thrasy write-ups worthy of a Mingguan Perdana type of tabloid publishing.
And yet for a mainstream media as big as Utusan, it is front paged without any qualms.
Malaysia Today also carried the news in its website with some 12 commenters poking fun at the news item at the time this post is published.
