During my sophomore year in HS one of us was required to report at least three news everyday during our Araling Panlipunan class. One of my classmates get some news from the tabloids and you know what kind of news you can get there… no, I’m not speaking of the latest rumors that you can find at the “centerfold”. To give you more idea what I’m talking about here is the summary of the news: a mother forced her baby to drink bleach. I know it’s a sad story but we were all laughing at that time. I was also able to read stupid news from a tabloid: a gay got killed because he’s playing with a bomb. You see, you won’t get sensible news from tabloids.
If you really want to read something that has sense, buy the broadsheets instead! My favorite broadsheets are the Philippine Daily Inquirer (especially the 2BU section) and Philippine Star. Just a random fact about me, I read the news paper from good to bad in other words, back to front. Just don’t buy me a copy of Manila Bulletin, I don’t have time to read long articles and I’m not looking for a job! Lol. (I hope you know what I’m talking about).
Well, you can now also read news straight from your computer or laptop via the internet and even in your cellphone. CNN is correct — the news follows you!
Since I don’t listen to AM stations let us skip to the best way to catch the latest events which is to watch TV. There are various local and international stations to choose from. Personally, I only watch news from ABS-CBN and CNN. Why? Because I think the other stations are biased. Especially NBN (since it’s the government official station) but I don’t say that they are indeed biased! Okay? It’s only my personal view.
Let’s concentrate with ABS-CBN and GMA… the two big network companies in the country. As usual, both are claiming that they are practicing responsible journalism.
Wait, before I continue, I have this to say: I’m not a avid kapamilya nor a certified kapuso.
If you still remember, our president commended GMA (the station) for broadcasting the real stories. Or was it because GMA (the station) is only airing news that has nothing to do and will not destroy the reputation of the palace? If this is true it will prove my theory that these stations are biased.
So who is prevailing the truth? Nobody knows. If they really want to give service to our fellow Filipinos they should be practicing serbisyong totoo. Right? All we want is balanced news and fearless views!
PS: Oh, go BJ and Tyler (Amazing Race 9)! [EDIT] Woot! The hippies won! I thought they will never make it! And I just noticed that Jeremy looks like Aldred of PBB.
PSS: Who’s looking for a host? Yeah, hosting in here is for invitational only but since I don’t know who wants to get hosted, I’m going to ask who wants to be hosted! So, do you want to be hosted eh?
