Hear! One thing that I do not understand is why the Indnesian journalists are so impervious to what is obviously a journalist’s job – to ask the hard questions, to not allow people in power from spewing rubbish and getting away with it, and to keep asking until they get the answers.

Many of the Indonesian journalists I know are hard-working, honest and well-intentioned, but most of them seem to have a blind spot when it comes to what the media should be doing. Why, why, why?

I believe it is a real shame the press/media Indonesia do serve the people or the ideals or free press in any shape or form. I do not believe that government officials and ministers here are any more corrupt or plain useless than anywhere else. Its just that here in Indonesia the media let’s them get away with anything and everything with no follow up, no hard questions and no investigation.

If we can ride out two days of headlines, then everyhting is fine!! Latest classic Health Minister complains that Australia is develoing a bird flu vaccine with the Indonesian strain of the vurus and they never asked permission! IS this twit for real, you have children dying of Dengue, Bird Flu, Measles, Malaria and this is what she holds a press conference on..and the press let her get away with this..
