The Inquirer front page today is obviously giving good media to Noynoy Aquino. In my count, it has now given favor to Noynoy three days in a row.

The score is Noynoy: 3, All the rest: 0!


Meanwhile, among the news in the headlines, the main banner (JBC slams SC over CJ case) is obviously going against the PGMA administration and the supreme court.

The news on Time Magazine's (Time Article) cover feature of course benefits Noynoy Aquino (Time story on Noynoy Aquino cites Ninoy, Cory legacy). The news is treated well and almost become a reprint of the Time magazine feature itself.

Of course, my position is that the coverage of the President could have headlined at this time on her agenda and arrival from a foreign trip. Instead said coverage is nowhere to be found on the first page (although there is news on it on Inquirer.net.

Meanwhile, the smaller news report on Teodoro (Teodoro rejects ‘LP offer’ to quit, join Aquino Cabinet) cannot be deemed as beneficial to Teodoro himself. The news is mainly an extension of the report on defections to LP reported in a good light by the Inquirer. While the LP's Mar Roxas and Gibo camp denied making or receiving an offer, the Inquirer think that the news deserves front page treatment. So I think that the report is going negative against Gibo.

There is another story on the front page entitled May 10 poll: Not perfect but RP history’s ‘best’ . This news surely gives a positive view on the COMELEC which received negative press in the past days.

But it is so obvious that today's front page gives hands down positive news to Sen. Noynoy Aquino.
