How the media management regime of the Aquino Government mirrors that of Nazi Germany

September 2, 2012January 16, 2019 benign0 91 Comments

Go figure. Certain media outlets like Rappler.com, and its cadre of “online journalists”, for example, seem to have first crack at “reporting” stories about administration “achievements”. The biggest media conglomerate in the country, biggest broadsheet and online news site, and the most popular mass entertainers all seem to exhibit a palpable bias towards the Yellow…

August 29, 2012August 29, 2012 benign0 104 Comments

With regard to this whole circus over plagiarism allegedly perpetrated by Philippine Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, I have to ask the obvious question: Was anyone harmed?

‘Journalists’ defending Noynoy’s latest tirade miss the point

August 1, 2012August 14, 2013 FallenAngel 26 Comments

Conflict of interest – this is the argument being thrown around by certain people in defense of Noynoy’s speech at the TV Patrol silver anniversary last July 27. Rappler writer Chay Hofileña and self-professed investigative journalist Ellen Tordesillas are at the forefront of this “argument” with their big virtual mouths.

July 31, 2012May 13, 2020 Gogs 10 Comments
