The brief protest gathering was organised by the Writers' Alliance for Media Independence (WAMI), among others, to protest political interference in the media and to call for press freedom.

No prize for guessing right. Yes, thesse Umno fellows came with copies of PAS mouthpiece Harakah and PKR's Suara Keadilan. This Hishamuddin Yahya said the opposition was not fair to the mainstream media with the former also distorting the truth while the the latter did much better reporting!
HAHA! Indeed, the mainstream media distorts the truth and does much better reporting - in short, much better in reporting distorted truth!
In the first place, Harakah and Suara Keadilan are party organs. They're not even mainstream media that the public can access easily unless one has Internet access and reach the online version. I, for one, have never touched a hard copy of Harakah or Suara Keadilan and seldom read it online.
