Lho, beritanya sama kok. Mana yang beda? Memang boleh dan bagus lah kalau
ada informasi dari pihak lain. Lumayan buat cek-recheck (tapi yg ini sama kok).
Beda ya dikit-dikit, kelihatan lah. Macam rencana bunuh Belo....., ya ETAN kan
perlu dana juga. Kalau nggak bombastis nggak ada nilai jualnya.
Cuma perlu diingat, sumber berita luar negeri macam ETAN ini juga bukan
otomatis benar. Makanya saya jadi agak bertanya-tanya dengan pernyataan
Bung Donald bahwa media di Indonesia selalu bikin buta (stevie wonder dong...).
