Especially if you can reach at least 80% of the population.” “I condemn the ABS CBN TV Patrol POLL dated October 20, 2011 for irresponsibly asking a complex question: “Papayag ba kayo na itigil na peace talks at mag ALL OUT WAR na laban sa MILF?” While 97% voted for YES, does this follow that 97% want to stop the peace talks AND at the same time launch an ALL OUT WAR against the MILF? Let us not allow a question to compromise the peace talks. NO to sensationalizing of news and complex questions. YES to fairness and accuracy of news! MEDIA, KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! [Please post this in your status until this reaches the mainstream.” - From Mr. Ping Medina, taken from FB—————— I have always hated the way we report news. It is vastly unfair to Muslims. As I said in a previous post: It pains my ear how they report such things on local news too, if a crime was committed by a Muslim, they are quick to point it out like “Isang Muslim ang nangholdap ng banko!” yet we never hear “isang Kristayano ang nang rape ng bata!”. It’s stupid & irresponsible. For more insight on the matter, do this blog. Sigh. Depressing. :( This is a challenge for future media practitioners (such as myself). Well, ABS-CBN, you should make sure your news segments in both radio and television has the disclaimer that your segments will have commentaries. You guys are supposed to deliver news to us, not necessarily bombard us with your opinions. If you guys want to post your opinions then do a show specifically for that! Look at your news anchors and news segments. Masyado nang concentrated sa mga commentaries ng mga anchors.  This country is a democratic one. Kahit na ba na rebelde ang mga MILF, we shouldn’t go about saying we need to launch war at them. Haven’t you guys lived long enough to know that wars are bad? Jeezus.  As a communication student, I believe in the fairness of news delivery. ABS-CBN, you have, once again, disappointed me. #justsaying
