  1. Yes,i think that Media Corp's counterpart,Channel News Asia has been unbiased in its reporting.Pardon me if i am wrong...but had we heard any news that is Proven by the government or other authorities that what is said and reported on Channel News Asia is biased and purely fiction?If we haven't that can only mean that Channel News Asia is still one of the most trustable news-casting channel,so...what do we have ,as mere listeners,to doubt its ability to bring fore unbiased news to our ears.All in all ,i want to express my opinion that we should not doubt a channel that is considered trustable by the vast public and the authorities.

  3. I think Channel News Asia is unbiased.If they were to report something bias,it will make some people very angry and the whole incident will not be true at all.Channel News Asia's image as a good news channel would also be ruined and people will not believe what they say next time they tell something.The family of the offended person would be upset of what they said about the person.So I basically think that Channel News Asia is unbiased.The news of the incident is also true so this shows that Channel News Asia are not bias.

  4. I think Channel New Asia broadcast has been unbaised in its reporting as if it is biased, many people will not believe in the news reported thus fewer people will be watching the news. In order to unbiasses,I think that the news reported must be unbiased, the reporter must interview two parties to check whether any of the parties is lying. In conclusion, all channel must be unbiased, not being buyers to one of the parties.

  6. I think that Channel New Asia has been unbiased in its news report as if Channel News Asia has been buyers in its report , nobody would believe in the news Channel News Asia reported and nobody would watch it . In additional , if Channel News Asia was buyers , the government would have inform the public about it and there would be no Channel News Asia now . So I believe that Channel News Asia is unbiased in its news report . So I think that the public should trust Channel News Asia and the government that they would not give us buyers report .

  7. I don't think that the Channel New Asia broadcast has been unbaised in its reporting because if they are reporting the fake information, and if they readers found out that the information are fake.The reader will not believe them anymore and no one will watch channel new asia broadcast anymore.I think that some of the news are only lacking of information but not unbaising in its reporting. The rest of the incident maybe is the wild guesses by the audience then they post on the internet and different guesses will be going around so there are many loop holes in some incident.

  8. I cannot be so sure but I think Channel News Asia is unbiased. I say this because there are many people out there watching the newscast given by Channel News Asia. If Channel News Asia is biased, then there would not be any people watching their newscast. They have been broadcasting for so many years and not there are not much complains. Morever, Channel News Asia is an official channel for people around the world. If they give biased information, they'll be landing themselves into great trouble too.

  9. I think that Channel News Asia is unbiased.It is because Channel News Asia cannot be biased, as it is a channel for the whole wide world.If Channel News Asia is being biased , there will be no more people watching their channel.This will result them to be in big troubles as they cannot earn money and people will sue them for being biased.Channel News Asia is not being biased as we had not heard any news proven by government and other authorities that Channel News Asia is being biased.

  10. I think that Channel News Asia is not being biased.When the interviewd people,the do not just interview a person,the interview a number of people to get their point of views.The will usually interview: a witness,a police officer who is investigating on the case,a close friend or family member of vicim or convictor.To me getting all of their personal response on the case is being unbiased.Channel News Asia have not been bias over the yeras so why be bias?

  12. I think that the Channel News Asia is not being biased as they interviewed more than just one person to get their point of views and what they witness.It is important to interview more than just one person as they have to double check the information that is given to the person they are interviewing to check which one has the most information If the Channel News Asia is being biased then no one will watch their channel to gain information. If no one watch the Channel News Asia the the channel would be removed.

  13. channel news asia have been unbiased if they are biased,people would not go to the channel to listen to its news and it interview more than one person about their views on an incident.If channel news asia is biased they would not interview more than one person about the incident and make people think what the incident is about instead of the truth,no one will watch channel news asia if the infomation is false.So channel news asia is not being biased as there are still people watching the channel and the channel is viewed by all over the world so it is not biased.

  15. Channle NewsAsia my or may not be biased but if it is biased, people may not watch the news and instead choose to switch to other channels. But since there are people still watching the news channel, I think that Channel NewsAsia is not biased. I also think that it is important to interview more than just one person as they can check the information that is given by the person they are interviewing.

  16. I think Channel New Asia broadcast has been trying there best to not to be unbiased in their reports. If they report in bias manner, there can be arguments going around. Also, the readers may think that a person is really the bad but he can be right in result. There must not be biasing going on just because there could be such misunderstanding going on. So, in order to prevent such misunderstanding from happening, the reports must be fair for the people who are involved in the incident。In conclusion, everybody must be fair when they are broadcasting.

  17. I think that Channel News Asia is not biased because as people trust their reports and interviews on the topic they were talking about. They have proof on what they report because they interview many different people who gave almost the same answers, so I think its not biased and everyone should trust Channel News Asia, but if some people still do not trust it, they can watch other news channel and do a compare and see which one is better. But the most important is the news and the truth of the story.

  18. I think that Channel News Asia is not biased as many people watch and trust that their reports and interveiws on the topic is true. They had interviews from many different people and got different comments about that certain topic. If it is bias, then mostly I dont think people will even watch Channel News Asia anymore and there would even be a complain about it, but so far no one have complained about it. I am sure that Channel News Asia is not biased in its reporting.

  19. Well,if you ask me.They had not been biased about this whole incident.They would give facts instead of rumours of their own point of views.They prove that the facts they report are true by interviewing the eye-witnesses.They never had any complaints by the audiences too.This shows that the facts given by the Channel News Asia are all true and can be trusted.Overall,Channel News Asia is not biased in its reporting.

  20. Personally, I think that ChannelNews Asia is trying their best to make the news unbiased but the news is still quite biased on the Professor.It is because they interviewed too many people and most of them pitied the Professor so they create an impression that the Professor is very pityful and make other sympathise with him too.So this might create an effect due to Channelnews Asia report,that the professor is actually the victim of this incident,thus making the report a biased report

  21. I think that Channelnews Asia is not bias althought some people do not believe in them.As i am not involve in this incident i cannot really tell whether what is reported is bias but since they are a worldwide known channel i personally thinks that what they say is true.Channelnews Asia would provide us facts from the incident not only from one's point of view but also prove that the information is rel by interviewing the eye witnesses.if the report is bias there would not be some many people tunning into this channel and believes it hence i can say that they are not bias.

  22. Yes, personally I think that the broadcast by Channel News Asia was unbiased. Channel News Asia is a reknowned broadcasting centre in Singapore, and if it's reporting had been biased, nobody would have believed it's broadcasts. That is because the viewers would surely find contradiction between it's broadcast and information from other sources of news. They cannot be biased too, as if they are biased, people will stop seeing the newscast brought by them but nobody stop so in conclusion, they are not biased.

  23. I think that the broadcast by Channel news Asia was unbiased. If they reported in a bias manner, many people will be against them. People may also not watch or believe it. They will interview people to get their different points of views to make sure that the news is unbiased and reliable. They had no complaints from the audience too. Everybody must be fair when they are broadcasting.

  24. I think the broadcast by Channel News Asia is bias. I say this because when i was surfing the net for information about David, I came across a video by a News Station in India interviewing David's family. David's family did not agree with Channel News Asia's reporting. This shows that Channel News Asia is bias in their reporting as if they had been unbias, david's family would be much calmer and not to complain about Channel News Asia's reporting.
