Now, in the hard-hit areas of the
earthquake, the abs-cbn and GMA television Channels are driving people into
anger at PRRD by spreading false information that wasn’t really the real thing.
In the news last night, November 2, they announced that the victims are turning
themselves into beggars because they have not received any help from the
government. Television news is a public forum and for someone to inelegantly
broadcast fake news, it surely is designed entirely to provoke a reaction.
The people that the said
television channels have shown holding placards and scribbles soliciting
donations could not necessarily be assumed as beggars. The word beggar is just
very cringe-worthy to refer to the earthquake victims. These victims were
certainly asking some help from the passing vehicles at the roadsides but it
was because of the earthquake catastrophe they had suffered. Begging is not
their occupation but they could have been forced to ask for donations due to
the exceptional happenstance that they are in for the time being.
It’s just too bad for these TV
Channels that it took such a painful broadcast to achieve that awareness.
I’m not biting, I refuse to believe.
You can’t make me dance to your tune. My friend in Kidapawan, Cotabato knows
best and she says relief goods were orderly distributed; air force choppers
were flying over the elevated areas in Makilala to rescue victims that were
stranded. Tents, food, bottled water, hygiene kits, and clothes were given in
evacuation centers.
Truly, the distortion of news by
these TV Channels is their perversion and so I took umbrage with anybody in
media public television who stirs up things. And the biggest problem is that
the media is in lockstep with one particular party with one particular goal and
made themselves as an enabler, they’re enabling their partisanship and doing it
24/7.
