တရား မဝင္ ခိုးဝင္လာၾကတဲ့ ဘဂၤါလီ ကိစၥအေပၚ ျမန္မာ့ မီဒီယာ ေတြ ဘာ လုပ့္ေနၾကလဲ?

I was not happy with a dud with a name Than XXX from VOA who has interviewed
Wanker Udin but when I read below:

ဘဂၤါလီကိစၥကို အမ်ိဳးသားေရးလို႔ အျမင္နဲ႔ ေရးေနႀကတဲ့

ျမန္မာတိုင္းရင္းသားေတြ Facebook မွာေတာ္ေတာ္မ်ားလာပါတယ္။ သတင္းနဲ႔
လုပ္စားေနႀကတဲ့ ျမန္မာ့ျပည္တြင္းမီဒီယာေတြနဲ႔ ၎မီဒီယာမ်ားက
သတင္းေထာက္၊အယ္ဒီတာမ်ားက အမ်ိဳးသားေရးလို႕ မျမင္ႀကဘူးလား။
ျမန္မာ့ေစာင္ေရအမ်ားဆံုးလို႔ ထုတ္ႀကြားတတ္တဲ့ ဂ်ာနယ္ႀကီးေတြလည္း ျငိမ္လို႔ပါလား။
ခင္ဗ်ားတို႔ တာဝန္မေက်မႈ သမိုင္းမွာ မွတ္တမ္းက်န္ခဲ့မယ္။

Alarm bells rang in me. I beg to differ. I think

ျမန္မာ့ျပည္တြင္းမီဒီယာ better don't touch
that issue if they cannot do good jobs or if they lack man power and
capacity to do so.

The problem is that those who are active in social networks and

mailing lists are IT literate and university educated. So they are
less likely to be influenced by media but not your average Burmese in
Burma who are more prone to be incited by news those can lead to
unwanted religious conflicts. The risks for local media for to report
that ဘဂၤါလီ issue is that it can lead to clashes between Burmese of
different religious faiths. If that were happen, those religious riots
will benefit ဘဂၤါလီ, who fake as Burmese, who are waiting for
asylum-derived residency and welfare benefits in US, UK, Canada, and
Australia. Because such riots in Burma will justify their applications
and make their applications processed faster and so they will be
jumping with pleasure if Burmese killed another Burmese inside Burma.
It is not to say that local media will have to white-wash it or put it
under the carpet as if nothing happen in borders or denying that there
are no lobbyist groups with foreign aid dollars at work. However, if
they were to do it, then they have to do carefully without hurting or
harming Burmese of South Asian heritage who are loyal to Union of
Burma and who are identify with Burmese, who and whose fathers serve
or served for Burma. Any news or report that can lead to religious
riots will be bad for Burma and Burmese.

That is easy to report but hard to direct opinion of people into right

directions, hard to do, so status quo like right now may be good for
local media and everyone. But this rule does not apply for exile
media. For exile media, they are not reporting unbiasedly but they are
promoting ဘဂၤါလီ illegals so suckers in VOA, BBC, RFA should be named
and shamed.
