Yellowtard media cry “VICTIM” yet again as their demonization campaign vs Duterte flags

Yellow “journalist” Regine Cabato in her Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) piece invokes the all-too-familiar trope of “hyper-partisan influencers, trolls, and true believers” that are “part-human, part-machine” engaging in a “long-running political influence campaign” to “cast doubt on the merits of the impeachment and quell potential outrage regarding controversies surrounding [Vice President Sara Duterte]”….

Rappler admits USAID funding but still neither confirms nor denies receiving grants from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

Yellowtard “social news network” Rappler continues to flail over the gutting of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) by US President Donald Trump. Gaby Baizas, a “digital forensics researcher” there insists in her piece “The lies, attacks on USAID spreading in the Philippines” that “USAID has been providing humanitarian aid to several countries,…

Is Rappler a beneficiary of USAID?

Is Rappler a beneficiary of USAID?

One would think so. Over just the last seven days, Rappler and its hipster “journalists” seem to be all-hands-on-deck kicking up a media frenzy over the gutting of a renowned global ATM machine; the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Philippines, after all, is dependent on an umbilical cord that delivers cash from…

SMNI should take stock of the lessons that can be learned from the “plights” of ABS-CBN and Rappler

SMNI should take stock of the lessons that can be learned from the “plights” of ABS-CBN and Rappler

That Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) finds itself neck-deep in trouble comes as no surprise. Like its Yellowtard counterpart Rappler, SMNI sprung out of nowhere at a time when the Philippines’ political situation demanded targeted media coverage in aid of certain politicians’ personal agendas. The readily-evident relationships at the top make its intent a foregone…

Patricia Evangelista’s bullshit published on The @NewYorker

Patricia Evangelista’s bullshit published on The @NewYorker

The basic problem with Rappler‘s journalists has always been their reportage adheres to the cliché of the “rules-based international order,” which is whatever is the latest dictate in the West about social and moral mores. At the country level, they don’t bother to take into account what the reality is on the ground. The latest…

“Some people need killing”

“Some people need killing”

Former Rapplerete Patricia Evangelista used this as the title of her book on — what else? — the allegedly murderous administration of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. As I write this, her fellow Rapplerete Lian Buan is tweet-reporting the launching of the book in chi chi New York City (where else, right?). Buan “reports” that…

Maria Ressa on a rampage as Reuters Institute report reveals Rappler among LEAST TRUSTED media organisations again

There’s something to be said about the consistency of Opposition “social news network” Rappler — in both its ability to make itself the news and the quickness of its CEO, Nobel “Peace Prize” laureate Maria Ressa to pounce on its critics. The 2023 Report on Digital Media published by the Oxford University based Reuters Institute…

Another Yellowtard social media “activist” @MiaMagdalena sued for allegedly committing SLANDER!

Yellowtard social media personality Mia Magdalena F. Longid is the most recent of a series of Opposition “online activists” to find themselves in hot water over an ill-thought-out post on the Net. Preceding her over just the last several weeks is a small (more like the tip of the proverbial iceberg) virtual Hall of Yellowtard…
