LIES AND DECEPTION TO DEFEND RAPPLER!

RAPPLER CEO MARIA RESSA

18 January 201`7

The bandwagon of LIES and DECEPTION to defend Rappler in the guise of press freedom is on the roll. So for the CONFUSED and the MISNFORMED, here’s the TRUTH:

Rappler IS NOT PHILIPPINE MEDIA as a whole. There is NO LAW, DECREE, RULING, AGREEMENT or any other OFFICIAL AND LEGAL BASIS saying that Rappler represents or is the symbol of Philippine media. That anything one does to Rappler is done to the ENTIRE media industry. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong. Anyone who insists on describing Rappler’s precicament now as a threat to silence media is either a fucking LIAR, TOTALLY IGNORANT of the law, PAID ATTACK DOG by Rappler or its bosses out to FOOL/MISLEAD THE PUBLIC or a descendant of Hitler or Stalin who DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE LAW          and has joined the CARAVAN OF LIARS AND DECEIVERS for self-interests.

Despite Rappler’s problems, CRITICS of President Digong Duterte are still all round us, ESPECIALLY INQUIRER AND ABS-CBN. They come out almost DAILY with attacks against Digong and his administration. But they’re still OPEN. They have NEVER COMPLAINED of being HARASSED OR PRESSURED into silence. They have NOT BEEN SUED by Digong or any of his people for their attacks, BASELESS OR NOT. So what threat or attempt to silence media are you IDIOTS TALKING ABOUT?

And LET’S NOT FORGET, guys, and to the DISGUSTINGLY MISINFORMED AND ONE-SIDED INTERNATIONAL MEDIA, Rappler’s problems are about its violation of the law on business, and NOT ABOUT ITS STORIES. Only the STUPID or the ILLITERATE, and the KING AND QUEEN of LIARS, will say that business law is the same as press freedom.

Lastly Rappler, and for that matter ALL media firms and journalists, are NOT EXEMPTED from the law. I’m a former media man but one of the veryfirst things my editors then taught me was PRESS FREEDOM IS NOT ABSOLUTE.
