Waktu jamannya kampanye kemaren ini, Mega pernah menyuruh simpatisannya untuk
menurunkan photo Bapaknya (Bung Karno), yang dipajang di hampir setiap rumah
simpatisan PDI-P. --kalo nggak salah, ngomongnya di Blitar, pls correct me--
Apa yang dilakukan Mega sekarang?
(???Wawancara???)-nya dengan Yomiuri ShimbunOnline, membuktikan bahwa Mega masih
banyak tergantung / menggantungkan diri dengan 'nama besar' mendiang ayahnya. Baca
prolognya itu ...njijihi
Wawancara Mega dengan media asing sebelum ini juga muncul, kenapa media asing?.
Ah otak iseng (baca:dengki) saya bilang: Ah Mega lagi belajar nulis, muat sekalian di
media asing biar bobotnya lebih dibanding kalo dimuat di negri sendiri, biar keliatan
mendunia gitu, katrol!, biar nggak keliahatan kuper, telmi. padahal yah... isinya ya
nyengeng begitu... njilat-njilat Jepang, nggak bakal punya bargain position yang bagus
nih kelak.
Nggak papa, itung-itung belajar bahasa inggris ya Mbak yah...!?. O ya, ngomong-ngomong
PR yang ini dikerjakan sendiri kan Mbak?, bukan pembantu yang ngerjain kan?. Apa kayak
kemarin lagi? yang interpiu itu? yang pertanyaannya difax itu...
Interview by fax adalah asumsi saya. Beberapa Interview di media asing itu beberapa
waktu yg lalu kadang pertanyaanya lompat ke masalah lain sebelum waktunya... artinya
wartawannya nggak agresip interaktip... nggak konek... nggak online... nggak real time
atau wartawan goblok.
