For a newspaper that is supposed to be one of
the biggest and most respected in the US, and the world, it’s both DISGUSTING
AND TRAGIC to see how the New York Times can be so STUPID and ARROGANT!
In a story in gmanews.tv, a spokesman for the
Times said their documentary
"When a President Says 'I'll Kill
You'" truthfully depicted the series of killings which began when the
Duterte Administration assumed office on June 30, 2016. The statement added
that journalists Andrew Glazer and Jeremy Rocklin followed Philippine Daily
Inquirer photojournalist Raffy Lerma in the stories he covered in the Manila
Police District.
To you BIASED IDIOTS in the Times: The Inquirer
is NEITHER THE OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL gauge of TRUTH in the Philippines. Shame
on you if you didn’t know that. And if you knew it but still took whatever
stories Mr. Lerma got as the true mirror of what’s happening in our country, you’re
nothing less than the BIGGEST DISGRACE to the media profession. Not only in the
US but throughout the world.
In the same breadth, the Manila Police District
is NOT THE DATA BANK for all the killings that have happened since the dawn of
the Duterte Administration. Regardless of how many thousands Mr. Lerma had
covered. Just like in the US killings happen every day and everywhere. So for Glazer and Rockin to claim the Inquirer
guy’s work as their basis in passing judgment on a nationwide scale is either
despicable UNPROFESSIONALISM OR BIAS, or both.
So HOW DARE YOU call on other nations to apply pressure
on President Duterte amid the rising death toll in the anti-drug war of his
administration, with your PATHETICALLY LIMITED DATA. Who do you think you are?
And unless the rules or ethics have changed
without my knowledge, media men all over the world are supposed to be
UNCONDITIONALLY IMPARTIAL in each and every story they come out with. I know what I’m saying because I am a former
media man myself, a senior editor in a group of nationally circulated
publications. How TRAGIC that it seems the Times has BURIED this NOBLE principle
of our profession. 30
