Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is ALONE in her paranoid fear that “press freedom” is “under threat”

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is ALONE in her paranoid fear that “press freedom” is “under threat”

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is in bad need of a healthy dose of humility. Of late, she’s been busy screeching about an imagined “attack on press freedom” supposedly being perpetrated by the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. This is, interestingly enough, after she was slapped with charges of tax evasion by the Department of…

Rappler and its CEO Maria Ressa have become focused on “activism” rather than on REAL journalism

Rappler and its CEO Maria Ressa have become focused on “activism” rather than on REAL journalism

Both mainstream media and personalities associated with the increasingly desperate “voice” of the mainstream continue to screech about “fake news” and their imagined “assault on press freedom”. These two things are nebulous notions at best as “fake news” had become a mere catch-all used to describe anything someone finds personally disagreeable and “press freedom” is…

Maria Ressa plays the “Assault on Press Freedom” card again

With the impending arrest of Rappler CEO Maria Ressa, the usual clique “social justice warriors” (SJWs) are up in arms. But the Philippine government’s stand on the matter remains consistent. A statement released by the Department of Justice reads… Assistant State Prosecutor Zenamar Machacon-Caparros upheld the complaint filed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)…

We need to find a peacetime use for social media

We need to find a peacetime use for social media

Like most technologies that permeate society today, social media, as it turns out, originally came of age as a weapon. Though it was originally pitched as a peachy digital hangout for catching up with friends and as a platform for “activism” aimed at fostering “social good”, what it is really being used for today is…

The difference between Duterte’s words and the Opposition’s

The difference between Duterte’s words and the Opposition’s

Essentially, a politician’s job is to convince his constituents to buy into his words. This usually involves convincing the voters that he best has their interests in mind.

Maria Ressa’s obsession with Facebook is like that of a jilted lover over her ex

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa just can’t stop once she gets started about Facebook. Indeed, she got started on Facebook way back when she threw a massive embrace around the gargantuan social media platform in the early days when she pitched her organisation as a “social news network”. Like many media organisations at the time, Rappler…

Leila De Lima is fair game for comedy acts. Get over yourselves!

Opposition social media “activists” have recently been up in arms over the portrayal by a popular comedy act of Opposition Senator Leila De Lima who is in prison on charges of drug trafficking. In last Saturday’s episode of Vice Ganda’s It’s Showtime, Ganda and singer Jugs Jugueta made reference to De Lima’s incarceration with Ganda…

Article on self-important Rappler anti-fake-news “soldiers” published by @NYTimesWorld

You gotta hand it to the circlejerk relationship Rappler manages to cling on to with the New York Times. This recent article, Soldiers in Facebook’s War on Fake News Are Feeling Overrun makes like CEO Maria Ressa’s Rapplerettes are on a mission from God. The tone of the piece goes beyond drama into the realm…
