[Reporter]

Oh, is that so? How come ChuPheng Lee's name is not on the list?

[Reporter]

So, why is Malacko--Lao Family's attorney--now on the other side against Lao Family? Didn't he represent Lao Family against ChuPheng Lee on the other case?

Not sure, but you should be able to find out quite easily, given all your local family, community and professional contacts, Reporter. Let us in on them, will you?

[sammyxiong]

It's all very confusing...th at is why our Hmong media needs to do a better job of covering this issue, asking the hard questions, and interview BOTH and ALL sides, including third party, and outside folks...instea d of merely pandering to the emotions and propaganda of each side, separately...a s they have done, from HBC TV to KPNP to Hmong Times to Hmong Today, etc.

I agree. The Hmong media needs to do better coverages on these events. I'm tied up and can't get out there to help out. But they should be reported to the community.

[Reporter]

Maybe Lao Family now is run by ChuPheng's team?

[sammyxiong]

It's my personal opinion that the local Hmong media has been very afraid of telling the truth because they fear offending the "leaders" of Lao Family. But, that's the whole reason for a Free Press! For Democracy! For Freedom!...the very things these same "leaders" of Lao Family preaches everyday! Yet, it's the LAST thing they would ever practice!

exactly!

exactly!

I mean, how lame can these so-called "news" organizations be? They can't even put the opposing views of this issue on the SAME show, AFRAID the public will hear the truth and decide for themselves? Check this out:

Plus, this is what HBC TV wrote describing the clip: "Dr. Yang Long, ED of Lao Family of MN and Lauj Blia Yao, Senior Program Manager of Lao Family of MN hosted by Kabyeej Vaj of HBC about July 4th Sport Tournament for 2011."

The Executive Director is a "Dr."? Doctor of what? Everyone (but HBC TV) knows he's not a Doctor. Hello?
