Journalism loves democracy
I stated in TOTV previously that IMHO, Morse is the Steve Jobs of real estate and I still think he is. Steve Jobs was not loved by every one, but he had a vision which he pursued with passion. From another perspective, I loved Singapore when I lived there in the 90s because it was squeaky clean, beautiful, and safe compared to all the surrounding countries. Lee Kuan Yew made that happen. It's certainly not a democratic country and some journalists are not allowed in at times but the closest I would call the country paternalistic. Back in 1965 it was a desperate country having been booted out of the Federation of Malaysia. But now it is the envy. Deng Xiaoping of China looked at Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew advised him. The current China owes a lot to both. I remember my friend, a journalist, tried to expose the non-democratic side of the country but my view was that as long as the populous is content, why push so hard. I love TV with warts and all. Could it be improved, sure.
