TV3 - Give It A Rest Already! Today is Hari Raya for God's Sake

We were all watching the 8 o'clock news on TV3 with my mom, sisters, her children and mine .. then suddently lo and behold, TV3 decided to mar and end this beautiful day by showcasing a piece about Saiful's (Liwat) Blog.

All I (and my family in chorus) can say when we say this piece is that GIVE IT A REST ALREADY .. please. For the love of God, today is Hari Raya.

Is it too much for TV3 to try and be decent at least for today? Why spoil this otherwise beautiful day with this piece on Saiful's blog? Who are you trying to convince to make viewers feel sorry for him .. he's young, healthy, looks strong enough to defend himself if anyone wanted to assault him (for God's sake, he is 6 feet tall). What is TV3 trying to achieve by showing this piece? Please Dato' Farid, you look like a nice guy .. don't do this anymore. Stop it - give people a break.

If you wanted to show a human interest story on Hari Raya, there are many many other stories to choose from. What not show a piece about the families of ISA detainees or anything from Karamjit Singh Walia (the only lone voice of humaneness and credibility in TV3 and the only reason to watch TV3 primetime news) ?
