What next for the Philippines’ DISCREDITED mainstream corporate news media?

The Philippines’ mainstream news media is in a death spiral.

If Professor Clarita Carlos is a “pet analyst”, then JC Punongbayan is a quack “economist”

Rappler kiddie “reporter” Lian Buan should be careful what she calls esteemed University of the Philippines Professor Clarita Carlos. A “report” she authored published on the disgraced “social news network” was headlined “UP political science department distances from Marcos pet analyst” effectively denigrating the qualifications of this veteran academic with no apparent bases.

Reports that more than 40,000 participants attended Yellowtard rallies in Cavite and Bulacan are all LIES

Last week saw a spate of rallies conducted by the leading Yellowtard bloc of the Philippine Opposition headed by “vice president” Leni Robredo. One which was held in Cavite boasted “47,000” participants. Another held in Bulacan Saturday boasted “45,000”.
