With their main headline today (NIGHTMARE ON TIMES ST. Aquino's plan to stay home worries neighbors) the Inquirer told Aquino how petty and ridiculous his decision was to stay in Times St. during his presidency. Of course, the Inquirer did not do it directly, but through interviews of people around the neighborhood. The same was ridiculous since Aquino said it in a forum (around February?) but it seems only now that Aquino is presumptive President that the Inquirer is ready to challenge. In fairness to the Inquirer, I have not checked all the headlines then that I really do not know if they published anything negative about the Time's St. decision at that time. Aquino -1
The other front page news are as follows:
Aquino on 7.3% growth: Campaign funds did it, not Arroyo’s economics - If yesterday was positive to Arroyo, the Inquirer today gave space to non-economists' opinion on the uptick in the economy. No, the opinions given space today are not just from non-economists, they are also from politicians averse of any Arroyo good news, may I say. Arroyo -1.
Meanwhile, perhaps since our students will be back to school in a few weeks, the Inquirer has two politically neutral features today on education, for which I give the paper a smiley :)
First time: Blind Filipino makes it to US study program
4 Gs keep this oldest (89) graduate going
Inquirer still No. 1 with 1.2M national urban readers - is of course a biased report by the Inquirer that their own paper is the leading paper in the country. Note that they use a survey to prove their point, surely trying to create a bandwagon.
Keep off new text-speak group, students' group tells DepEd - is just a negative treatment on the DepEd, that is all. The negative treatment came in the form of an interview of people who are mostly anti anything. But as to why they are featured, I can only conclude it is to invite readership via a controversy on Jejemon. DepEd -1
The scores today?
Aquino: -1
Arroyo: -1
DepEd: -1
Note that for two days in a row, Aquino is in negative territory. Would this be the case from now on? We will see...
