THERE was one weekend recently that Gloria Arroyo did not have to take brandy to sleep. She had two days of de-stressing sessions in the expert hands of the staff of San Benito Farm in Lipa City, Batangas.
San Benito Farm is a high-end health resort and one of its services is “to provide a haven and a sanctuary for those seeking a healing environment.”
They offer a variety of services from a short walking tour and use of some of their facilities like swimming pool, or the more expensive package that would include a blood cell analysis, spa treatment and massage. They also have “medical vacation packages” for those who want to undergo detoxification.
A source said Arroyo availed of the “whole works”. Since it was just a weekend visit, it could have been the two- night package at the garden Villa for P31,500. Since it was the “whole works”, she must have had a peppermint foot scrub and body massage.
We are wondering which in The Farm’s menu of exotic massage Arroyo chose. They have “Tropical Bliss – coconut scrub with relaxation massage and buko juice”; “Oriental Journey – honey scrub with Thai massage and iced lemon tea”; “Bitter Sweet – coffee scrub with therapeutic massage and seven herbs tea”; “Seasonal Delight –relaxation massage and papaya or any seasonal fruit”; “Lulu body scrub with Balinese massage” and “Coco Cocoa Scrub with massage and warm coo milk bath.”.
She indeed needs to de-stress knowing how shaky her situation is. The political security situationer contained in the document “New Threats to Philippine Democracy” dated Sept. 9, 2005 shows that even if she has survived the impeachment complaint, she knows that she will be in trouble when Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo assumes the presidency of the influential Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines next month.
A handwritten note inserted on the mention of CBCP under “Political Alignments: Emerging Trends” says “Change in CBCP will lead and call for PGMA resignation.”
There’s a portion in the confidential document states: ‘The last question we wish to address is what should the government do, now that in the coming months there will be a race for the people’s hearts and minds. At present the administration and the anti-government side are competing for the support of key sectors that have yet to make a definite stand on the matter. Some of the influential blocs in society include:
* Other political parties such as the Liberal Party (LP) and the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) that have yet to take a united and official party stand on the issue.
* While refusing to join quit-calls, the Catholic Church has adopted an open-ended position that could still change in the future. (There’s a handwritten marginal note beside this paragraph that says “Until December – we expect to see a radical posturing under the new CBCP leadership in January 2006.”
* The armed forces have retained an apolitical stand since the start of the crisis. We are aware, however, that a large segment of the military is quietly sitting on the fence right now, waiting for developments. While we trust our AFP, we cannot discount the possibility that in the event that the government fails to control the situation, it will step in if only to save the country from anarchy.”
Despite Malacañang’s propaganda of US President Bush’s support for Arroyo, they know that it’s no longer the same between the two leaders. The handwritten notes at the end of the document underlined the assessment that “US factor is critical”. Under it were three items: 1) Determine role in the crisis; 2) FVR continue to play the “bridge” for US thinking in Philippine scenario; 3) role of RP in US policy for Asia (no longer lead role).
Next to those items were more notes: “Poor acceptability of GMA in Bush administration; high risk for US under PGMA; incompatibility of interest between GMA boys and US business; declining public popularity not conducive to the US; indifference of international community to GMA leadership (Japan, China, Germany, EU and Muslim countries); high profile graft.”
On the question of Arroyo’s possible ouster, their assessment is what is known to everybody: the failure of anti-Arroyo forces to consolidate. There was a hand written note: “It is all geared up – waiting for its tipping points.”
The conclusion was upbeat: “In short, the Arroyo administration is still the best alternative at present. We also witnessed how Her Excellency’s support base consolidated at critical times.” Next to that is a handwritten note: “PGMA continuously update and shape her Exit Plan.”
Just want to say “Mahirap paniwalaan ang gagawin nila ngayon…
She already informed the people of our “great” nation that she talked to Garci para matiyak ang panalo…
Mahirap talagang paniwalaan
Walang mahirap sa mga taong desperado.
I understand the Ledesco Group offers “The Sanctuary” and professional services of Drs. Manny and Pie Calayan, in their Buenavista (Nature) Park. Pero pang mga “wannabees”, lang raw.
“Walang mahirap sa mga taong desperado.” How true! Si GMA “desperadong” manatili sa puesto. Ang mga Anti-GMA ay “desperado” ding paalisin si GMA sa puesto.
Noon ang mga Pro-GMA, panay ang “pa-cute”…play “coy” —“Sinong Garci? Paano namin lalabas, hindi rin namin alam kung saan siya naroroon. Inamin na ni Ma’m na kinausap niya. Inamin na ni Ma’m na may lapse in judgement ang pagkausap niya. Tinatanggi niya na may pinagagawa siyang pangdadaya kay Garci, kasi, tapos na ang eleksyon ng magusap sila. Ano pa? May pruweba ba kayo? Ed di sige labas ninyo si Garci…tignan natin.”
Ang mga Anti-GMA naman panay ang panduduro at pambabluff: “Huli ka, bruha. Boses mo yan. Huwag kang magsinungaling. Labas ninyo si Garci. Bakit ninyo tinatago?
Siguro pinasalvage ninyo, ano? Nadinig namin ang usapan ninyo. Si FPJ ang panalo. Hindi na kailangang bilangin uli ang mga boto. Kasi dinaya mo nga. Ilabas ninyo si Garci, para magkaharapan tayong lahat at malaman natin ng husto kung sino ang nagsisinungaling.”
Ngayon lalabas na (daw) si Garci. Ano naman ang sinasabi ng Anti-GMA? “Binili si Garci. Sinuhulan ng husto. Wala kaming pakialam kung nandiyan na si Garci or wala. Mabuti pa huwag na siyang lumabas at panay kasinungalingan lang ang sasabihin niya…tuta ni GMA yan….”
Ang sagot at tanong naman ng Pro-GMA: “Hindi namin talaga maintindihan ano ang gusto ng oposisyon. Noon nawala si Garci, hanap kayo ng hanap…palabasin si Garci. Ngayong lalabas na si Garci, sinasabi naman ninyong hindi kailangang lumabas si Garci…Sino ba ang talagang nagpapakana ng mga propaganda demolition ninyo?” (Na leche na ang usapan, lalo; kung ako si Ping,si Era[ at Jinggoy, si Mark J, or si Michael Ray tatahimik na ako…)
Kelan pa nagtagumpay at nakapagpalabas (as in “expose’) ng katotohanan at nakatulong lumutas ng krimen ang media sa Pilipinas?
a.) Umpisahan kay muckfarcos – ill-gotten wealth award to victims of human rights violation – BILLION DOLLARS yan.
May court decision na sa Hawaii violation of human rights, may award na…pinurnada pa ng mga pulitiko. Bakit nilubayan ng media ang paguusig? (sa mga pulitiko at PCGG?)
b.) Yung mga military coup d’etat…dahil hindi nausig sa media ng sapat…ayun paulit-ulit…kay Gringo lang 7 beses.
Oakwood Mutinee and sinundan pa ng isa pang “attempted coup”.
Noong nangyari ang coup, ang media kinampihan pa ang mga “mutineers”. Ano nangyari doon?
c.) Sino pumatay kay John Campos? Kay Bubby Dacer?
d.) Ano ang status ng plunder case kay Jingoy Ejercito? Kay Joseph Ejercito?
e.) Ano ang nangyari sa election protest kaso ni Miriam Santiago in 1992?
f.) Ano ang status ng investigation doon sa Expo 2000?
g.) Sino ang nanagot sa kasong Amari Deal?
h.) Yung Napocor, Meralco, kaguluhan sa pagtaas ng mga rate ng walang kabuluhan, sino ang inusig? Sino ang nanagot?
i.) Paano nabalik ang Meralco sa mga Lopez simula ng tinangal ni muck farcos ang mga ari-arian at negosyo ng mga Lopez? Bakit binalik ni Cory sa mga Lopez?
j.) Sino ang nagpapatay kay Ninoy?
k.) Totoo bang dinakip na si Cesar Mancao sa Florida? Ano daw ang charge?
l.) Bakit tahimik bigla sa kaso ni Michael Ray Aquino at Leandro Aragoncillo?
m.) Paano nagkamali si Boogie Mendoza sa pagdakip kay “putol”?
n.) Bakit napostpone ang pagpaparol kay Mark Jimenez?
o.) Ano ang mangyayari kay Jalosjos?
p.) Sino ang pumatay kay Nida Blanca?
q.) Kung totoo na matibay ang ebidensya against Figaro sa kanyang “pangungurakot”, plundering, at iba pa… na kasing tibay ng mga katibayan sa kanyang “pag-chi-chicks” – as claimed by the opposition and anti-GMA, bakit hindi makasukasuhan siya?
Si Mark Jimenez, “genius ni Erap”, nagexpose against Figaro…against GMA against Nani Perez…tapos siya ang nakulong as fugitive of the USA Law.
Si Ping banat ng banat…si Figaro daw ganito, ganoon, at iba pa…bakit yung protege niya ang nakulong? Bakit siya ang natalo sa caso niya sa USA at nagmulta pa ng $30K++?
FINAL TANONG: Ganoon ba talaga kahina ang judicial system ng Pilipinas…or, baka naman ang REPORTING SYSTEM and PUBLIC COMMUNICATION MEDIUM ng Pilipinas ang saksakan ng kahinaan, dahil sa masamang bisyong, bira ng bira, wala namang ebidensya…tuloy, ang mga naniniwala sa propaganda, sabit ng sabit…pati ang publiko, gulong gulo….hindi malaman kung sino ang nagsasabi ng katotohanan?
FINAL HALIMBAWA: ANO ANG MANGYAYARI SA “ALLEGED RAPE” SA SUBIC ISANG PINAY LABAN SA 6 NA SUNDALONG ‘MARKANO? Bumanat ng husto ang medya…walang pakundangan…walang delikadesa…pati VFA agreement pinakailaman…ngayon ang gobyerno lumalabas – PANGKAT NG MGA BLACKMAILER… Sinasabi na ng babae…”Hindi ako na-rape…pero nabastus ako…(as in acts lasciviousness)…BAKIT NINYO AKO NGAYON BINABANTAAN NA DEDEMANDA NINYO AKO FOR PERJURY???”
Sinabi na ng testigong tsuper – “Hindi ko sinabi “gang rape”. Wala akong sinabing ganoon. Wala akong nalalaman. Kaya ko lang sinabi yung pinirmahan ko kasi ginulpi aat sinaktan ako, at tapos binantaan pa ako…BAKIT PATI AKO SASAMA NINYO SA DEMANDAHAN,ngayong nagsasabi na ako ng tunay na katotohanan?’
ANO ANG PAPAHAYAG NG MEDYA NGAYON, in light of these developments?
Pepeton
b.)
Duhhhh!!! Isn’t it effin obvious? Archbishop Capalla is the Prospero Pichay of the CBCP. This is the guy who supported CPR and asked people to “move on” na raw.
Continuation…
No wonder, the US stand on the Philippines is all screwed up and hyprocritical. They’re listening to FVR’s BS! Sa middle east, they talk about spreading democracy and freedom and want to see credible elections.
Dito naman sa Pilipinas, they prefer the “stability” by propping up an illegitimate ruler over the true will of the Filipino people, probably because they were convinced by FVR na there’s “no alternative” at the moment (until the Constitution is “fixed”). Maybe Ramos told them na the Philippines is like Egypt or Pakistan–that is, if you remove Mubarak or Musharraf from power, the extremists like the Muslim Brotherhood or Al Queda sympathizers will take over the gov’t. So we better keep GMA in power for now, because we can’t allow the possibility of extremists like the political opposition or THE COMMUNISTS!!! take over our gov’t. Eh naniwala naman ang mga US advisers ni Bush kay Tabako-ko… LOL. Tignan nyo na lang yung Heritage Foundation at si Dana Dillon.
As for the Philippines not playing the lead role anymore, matagal na po nating alam yan. Ever since nag-surrender si Arroyo sa mga terrorista sa Iraq at pinauwi kaagad ang mga sundalo nito. In fact, Indonesia is getting more love right now from the US than RP.
No, credible elections is the only alternative to the fake president
Pepeton,
Media has its faults, but it’s unfair to accuse them of a lot of things. For example, you were asking if what happened to Miriam’s 1992 election protest. It was a long time ago, and you wish the media to report it today? FYI, it was dismissed by the PET last 1995 (or is it 96), for the reason that it deemed that Miriam abandoned her protest when she ran as senator.
Also, Jalosjos is already in jail.
Also, media’s role is not to prosecute.
It is wrong to point to media’s indifference as the cause why coups repeat. It is simplistic to say that because the media failed to condemn the unlawful acts that these coup happened 7 times.
The media will not report about the usurious rate hikes because the gummint did not filed charges.
What made you think the media can answer questions c, i, j and p?
The status of the plunder charges is still the same – under prosecution at the Sandiganbayan. The media is reporting about it – the recent one was the thumbs-down on Erap’s petition to be allowed to attend Ateneo reunion.
Media has its faults, but to fault it on things that are not in its purview is just plain wrong. And to accuse the media because of our ignorance is also wrong.
clarification: when i said duh, i’m not referring to you ellen, but at the report. just to make things clear.
When things are being planned and when things are being predicted, they will not happen, believe me. Asking Gloria to resign is wistful thinking.
Gloria is DOOMED to a failing PRESIDENCY that she wanted so much at all cost and ironically the people who are asking her to step dowm now installed her there. Let her stay, she “deserves” it. We get the kind of life that we deserve.
Kawawa naman ang mga Pilipino…
A person that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Arbet, welcome to the wonderful world of “I said, you say, she denied it….so where were we again?”
I have a few follow-up comments on your posting.
November 28th, 2005 at 10:38 pm
========================
YOU SAID:
COMMENT: Let me clarify. I am not accusing media of MANY FAULTS…just ONE – the SINGULAR flaw of failing to report events factually. Factual reporting, that is. Pure and simple. Verifiable. Can stand the test of reasoned judgment.
For a more current example, look at the way media, from a number of reporting sectors informed the public about the “incident of (brutal) rape of a Pilipina, who is a college girl, who comes from a good family in Zamboanga;how she was brutalized and thrown out into the street, by 6 abusive, unfeeling, HAYOP na US military servicemen, who hid behind the anomalous provisions of the VFA agreement; and who were protected by the KUNSINTADOR na officials of the US Embassy and the Essex; and how the USA slipped under the radar of fairness when it took advantage of the Philippines during the negotiations of the Voluntary Forces Agreement.
So, after all the hype, what is the status of the “formal complaint” filed by the “victim”? How come, after the victim decided to “reduce her charge to acts of lasciviousness”…and after the eyewitness driver decided to recant his earlier testimony on the grounds he was coerced the first time he testified to the contrary”…media is conspicuously silent on the case?”
Even in this blog website, there has been no follow-up on that much sensationalized incident. Why? Do you see something faulty about this kind of journalism? Do you see this as a serious flaw? I would say so. However, you might have a different view. I would, with due respect, like to know.
==========================

COMMENT: Good example. So, the explanation is…Miriam officially (or by default) abandoned her protest when she ran for the senate? The question that the public needed to be clarified about is – WAS THERE CHEATING AND FRAUD DURING THE ELECTIONS OF 1992?
If this was properly exposed and adjudicated, maybe, we will not be having this academic discussion about the legitimacy of the presidency of GMA on the ground that she manipulated and cheated during the election. Why? Because, we would have learned from the experience. Evidently, the experience was aborted and obfuscated, overtly or covertly, or “by default”. You think?
By the way, did Miriam Santiago not claim that the alleged victim of the rape (who wants to reduce her complaint to acts of lasciviousness) should be charged with perjury, for making a “mockery of the Philippine judicial system?” Ditto with the eyewitness, according to another Senator, or was it the DOJ Secretary (the fool) who suggested to have the driver charged along with the 6 USA servicemen, thus making him a ‘hostile eyewitness’? All of a sudden media reporting has become very unsure and unclear as to what is really going on with this case.
Well, if what you explained is accurate, should not Senator Miriam Santiago, have been (even retroactively, theoretically that is)charged with “mocking the judicial system with her ‘urong-sulong’ complaints of election fraud, ‘dagdag-bawas’, because she opted to run for the Senate, even if the charge is based on the grounds of “by default” only?” What do you think? BTW, this is not a rhetorical question. I do know, there is NO PRESCRIPTIVE PERIOD FOR A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. So if a FRAUD has been committed way back in 1992, the Statute of Limitations will not apply. You think?
============================
COMMENT: Granted. Question is, can you describe the circumstances of his “confinement and incarceration”? Is he LOCKED UP in a cell? Or does he have a different and a special “homey set up” for a cell? (as has been rumored-reported in some circles) If so, why? But more critically, If so, how come media is not exposing it?
For that matter, how come media has been tight-lipped about the progress and status of the plunder case against Joseph Ejercito? Yet, it does not hesitate to quote the ousted president, whenever he aggrandizes himself with “new found wisdom on political governance”?
========================
COMMENT: BINGO!!!! Exactly. Precisely my point. Central to what I have been crusading against. We both agree absolutely on this point. It seems to me that our point of disagreement is on the issue of whether media, in fact, has not overstepped its bounds…of confining its activities to REPORTING FACTS.
In addition to the on-going case of “incident of rape (reduceable to “acts of lasciviousness”), we now have the “resurrection of (baka sinalvage na) and return of Garci…”
Are you saying you don’t see media prosecuting Garci, or that it has not overstepped its boundary of factual journalism?
Or something more obvious…has media not been in fact crucifying and prosecuting GMA, from the very beginning of her term as president (in January 20, 2001) and through her election in May 2004, till now?
The legitimacy issue of her presidency has been resolved through the proper jucicial process. Not once. Not twice. But more than thrice. Yet media has been unrelentless and refuses to acquiesce and abide by the multi-sectoral decisions of the empowered agencies. And insists on TRYING the efficacy of the ALLEGED (without facts) claims of FRAUD during election 2004, and some additional recycled PROTESTS, THROUGH MEDIA-COVERED AND ENCOURAGED DEMONSTRATIONS AND BLOVIATINGS AND SPINS, ON THE STREETS.
My position on this cantankerous political positioning is simple. The reason why we have rules and procedures is so that we can effectively govern ourselves. To insist that all the agencies that rendered their decision are ALL CORRUPT, because they are all under the CONTROL of GMA and her administration is to state and expose one’s total ignorance and absolute obstinacy…about the principles of self-governance and self-rule in a democracy. I consider this tantamount to a deliberate, purposeful, malicious act of deception.
Each individual has the RIGHT to choose the president that he or she likes or prefers. If the choice happens to be the popular choice, and the chosen candidate wins…good. If the choice happens to be the less popular one…and loses…too bad. Better luck next time. Put up a better political line up of candidates with wider appeal. Campaign more effectively. And may the gods of vote gathering shine upon your (renewed) efforts.
But for the GMA opposition to keep on, and on, and on….DESPITE REPEATED FAILURE AND REPUDIATION of their unproven allegations…how different is that from the Gringo and his RAMBOYS’ FRUSTRATED, ABORTED AND UNSUCCESSFUL REPEATED ATTEMPTS at overthrowing the administration of another woman president? Really?
Let me restate our point of agreement. MEDIA SHOULD NOT PROSECUTE. They should confine their SOCIAL ADVOCACY ROLE and SCRIPTWRITING to factual and fact-based news reporting.
And should they depart from this sacred role, they should be held accountable, (i.e. some sanctions) and be required to go through a Truth Commission investigation, each time they get imbroiled beyond their legitimate social charter, with severe penalties for abusive and repeated violations of their sacred charter as “disseminators of facts and truth”.
The only effective way to institute disciplinary reforms is to mean it.
=====================

COMMENTS: Let me grant that for the moment. How about lionizing and trying to portray the rebels (reduced to simple mutineers) of “Oakwood infamy”, as heroes and victims,(instead), as some journalists tried desperately to skew the facts (and rationalize the reasons and motives of the “rebel-mutineers”). What message was media sending when it did this? That what the ‘mutineer’ (rebels, really)was justified, because…? Yes, because, why…”the ends justify the means?”
Should these journalists not have been held accountable for misleading and deceptive reporting?
Let’s go back to your initial observation here. I did not suggest nor intend to imply that because media was less than fortwith and forthright in reporting the facts about the RAM’s repeated attempts at destabilizing and overthrowing the administration of Cory Aquino, that media caused the coups to be staged, repeated, again and again.
But the failure of media to put in proper perspectives their significance, and report the real facts behind the coup attempts, the ulterior political motives behind the absolute pardon and amnesty of the “rebels who really had no legitimate (constitutionally, that is) cause…I consider a complete disservice by media to the Pilipino people. Kaya coup-ng-coup ang mga sundalo, ay hindi binu-buko ng husto. It was a game that the RAM Boys played. And media treated it all, very gingerly. Why? (I suspect, in spite of all, Cory Aquino was not considered by media as a media-popular president).
Let me suggest…that FVR had a lot to do with how media treated all the coup attempts. In comparison, among the post-muck farcos presidents, FVR has been considered by Philippine media as “the political Pinoy’s media sweetheart”. FVR learned well from his former boss, who “controlled” media, the old-fashioned hard-nosed, hard-assed way…”Close them up put them out of business” If that ain’t being a dick…
Certainly, and on the other hand, there is a widening room for DISCIPLINE in journalism, that need to be closed in. But the public must demand it from its media. I said it before in another setting, I would like to repeat that here: “If we do not participate in lying first, and lying more…we shall be overwhelmed by a media that can lie better and worse than all of us.”
Behold the drug dealers, who were foreigners, yet were executed by a firing squad, during the martial regime of muck farcos. Brutal? Yeah. Effective? Definitely. Should we have something like that, again…for reminders? I believe so…
I am not advocating censorship in media. What I am advocating is for the KBP and other media professional associations to RAISE THE BAR in “recruiting, screening, allowing journalists to join the ranks of the true professionals.” To police their ranks in such a manner as to exercise …and manifest prudent self-censureship.
===================================
You said:
COMMENT: I am not sure I am understanding what you are alluding to here. However, I will venture and say…”media’s persistent curiousity has never been dulled by the government’s failure or hesitancy to file charges.” As a matter of fact, the more the government assumes the position of ‘inaction’ the more aggressive the typcial media response. Are we talking about the ‘soft gloves’ used on the public utility owners like the Lopezes, here? If we are, I would say, yes…media has been “kind and gentle” with them. And you and I can trade guesses why.
======================
You said:
COMMENT: You and I may both surprise ourselves upon discovering that Philippine media has been known to “keep facts” from the public. Just because media is not reporting an event does not mean they are completely without knowledge about the facts surrounding the event. Have you heard of the practice in journalism of “killing the news”. or “keeping it in the freezer” Yes, under those and other categories and levels of “secrecy” and “confidentiality”.
====================
You said:
COMMENT: Not good enough. Sorry. I would like to know, exactly what the current status is. Why isn’t media reporting this. But it is never wanting in reporting some ‘words of wisdom’ from the “confined” and ousted president, when he has some pompous statements to make about how the government can be run better, or how reforms can be instituted, or why GMA should be deposed (like him).
Why is Jinggoy out? Didn’t media report that plunder is a non-bailable offense? So, how come he was released. Is he out on bail? How come he was allowed to run for the Senate? Do you know for a fact what the story is about this? Because I don’t. And would like to find out the real story.
I don’t know if you notice the pattern for media reporting in all of these.
First, SENSATION (scoop)”…and remember where you heard it first, and who reported- ang mga balitang nagbabaga. Ito po si Ussy Sero, live, from sa labas lang ng Malakanyang.”
Second SHOW TIME –
She spied: “Hayup ka, huling-huli kita.”
He said,”I didn’t do it”.
She said,”You are a liar, Joey. I saw you.”
He pleaded: “Hindi ako yun…believe me…kamukha ko lang.”
She is frustrated. “Sinungaling. I have a picture. Ayan, nakapikit pa ang mata mo…nakapatong pa siya.Hayup ka talaga. Demonyo ka.
He reassured: “Pero alam mo ba kung bakit ako nakapikit? Kasi hindi ko pa ni-eenter, nagsisisi na ako…
She started to mellow, but still suspicious: “Pero, na-wet ka din, ano???”
He is relieved: “Naku, mahal ko, yes, totoo, hindi ako magsisinungaling sa iyo. Na-wet ako…PERO HINDI AKO NASARAPAN…”
RECONCILIATION – KISS AND MAKE UP – summation:
“No, I did not say that. It never happened; it was media’s fault. Gawa-gawa lang ng mga peryodista ang telenovelang, kwentutan-telling-lies na yan. Huwag mong pansinin ang media…
“KAYA HINDI NA AKO NAGBABASA OR NAKIKINIG SA NEWS…PANAY KASINUNGALINGAN LANG NAMAN ANG MABABASA AT MADIDINIG MO. Dibs?
===============
You said:
Media has its faults, but to fault it on things that are not in its purview is just plain wrong. And to accuse the media because of our ignorance is also wrong.
COMMENT: I agree. However, Media has one and one responsibility only. REPORT THE FACTS. DO NOT MIX UP, OR MISREPRESENT OP-EDS WITH NEWS REPORTING. Unfortunately, the way the journalists police their ranks, leave much to be desired. And it takes a vigilant and discerning (reading and caring) society to ensure that we are not deceived or misinformed by a media that lies more and better, or more maliciously, than us.
Hanggang sa susunod na pagniniig.
