Seven years ago, a small group of rebel journalists banded together to save Singapore from the onslaught of mainstream news tyranny. Those early days were fraught with danger, skepticism, cynicism, and untold misery as the small outfit, who called themselves The Noose, fought tooth and nail for the survival of their craft and careers. From an initial viewership of just seven, which included five censors, they won over unsuspecting Singaporeans with each bulletin. Now, seven years later, and embracing the seven year itch, the rebels are re-grouping and strengthening their ranks for another assault on the issues of the day.
