AS I COMMENTED ABOVE: I was reading their daily compiled piece during COVID and it was clear to me from the articles I was seeing or they were linked to that they are funded by Soros' Open Society and/or the US Govt via various intermediaries e.g. USAide, Soros' Open Society etc. Why?

1) Sponsored or syndicated type articles about climate change and other such topics that interest certain groups and get syndicated on a wide variety of similar sites who are obviously being funded by the same sources...
2) Those sources would be Soros' Open Society and the US Govt as they fund much of the global media that is not otherwise state sponsored. This is not conspiracy theory as everyone knows that very very few media publications or websites make enough $ to keep the lights on these days with advertising and/or subscriptions...
3) LET ME ALSO ADD: Big Pharma pays for 75% of the commercials during the nightly news in the USA - another source of funding for the media...
I think the names of "Soros' Open Society and the US Govt.." - and whoever else calling the tune should be openly declared - even drummed into our consciousness.
There may be media whores here and there and maybe everywhere but their role and their motivation (and integrity) should be as open and plain for us to see.
Funds may help some of the unemployed and unemployable writers in Malaysia get their livelihood, and may even get politicians into power, but I would still be mostly interested in the integrity and quality of concerned organisations and their operatives.
Pharmaceutical companies are quite interesting. For Europe, the US, they send their audience to expensive holiday island paradises and lavish on them, first class flights, 4-star everything. In Malaysia, the targets are crammed into hotel ballrooms, fed MAS airline type food, fed "presentations" (propaganda) and given their "two free gifts" of a cloth carrier bag and a mug. Both carrying free advertising for the kind sponsor/s. Sometimes "presentations" are done abroad, you get a cheap holiday and questionable activities cannot be scrutinised.
Malaysia needs totally independent bodies for anything on the medical front, we have just too many clowns and morons running the show, our streets and even holes in the walls are filled with quacks, frauds and shops selling "medicine"... meanwhile we also have questionable enterprises which are coy about who their parents are, wtf!
Georgia recently attempted to pass a transparency law and coincidentally almost had a colour revolution - I think they were forced to back down...
- "fed MAS airline type food..." In my experience when I was in the Philippines some years ago, the media DOES NOT like this. IF you wanted positive media coverage, the meal for them at your event had to be good :)
- "Malaysia needs totally independent bodies for anything on the medical front..." BUT half the health care sector is state controlled...

" in the Philippines"
They might be different there but our media (and other) whores could jolly well be five for the price of two, plus two free gifts.
A second helping of MAS airlines food may do the trick...
