The headline though (Vice mayor in media slay. Raps filed against Ilocos Norte exec, aide), which mentions of raps being filed did not complete its work by not mentioning anything if an arrest order is released on the suspects. The reader of the news will be left wondering why charges are filed even before the suspects are arrested. Meanwhile, the reader also are not informed the suspects are at large and/or in hiding. Even on topics so close to their hearts, the Inquirer seem to fail to do its job properly. The news continue to remind us on the count of the number of dead journalists (at 103) during Arroyo's tenure and surely negative to the outgoing administration. Arroyo -1.
Only courts can stop sex ed, says DepEd - letting out conflicts in statements left unresolved, the front page today reported on the DepEd's resolve to continue Sex Ed but "as long as we have (there are) consultations" - whatever that means. The report also continue not to access (or report) the contents of the teaching modules which it should have done long ago so that the readers can evaluate for themselves whether said Sex Ed is proper or not.
‘Emperor’ Bangit sad on leaving AFP - is surprisingly a positive take on AFP chief Bangit, on his "early" retirement. The news did not provide complete details though as to whether such early retirement has any effect on his status and on the expected benefits the General is to receive which is assured in more normal retirements. Bangit +1.
DoJ affirms decision to sue Sulpicio exec - -a belated development on a sea tragedy, the report surprisingly missed out on why the specific executives are to be sued while the others, especially government officials regulating sea travel, are not.
Aquino meets with ‘Cabinet’ at Times Street home - running the rumor mill on possible appointments, this news gave life to press releases (nay free pass) coming from the Binay camp and from the less known Alcala who seems to be pushed for the Dept. of Agriculture post. Binay +1.
Vuvuzelas expected to make a blast in Asia soon - rather than pick up the huge development going on the world cup, the Inquirer picked up a minor report from AP about trumpets that are annoyed and loved at the same time by the same football spectators.
I-TEAM REPORT. Local dialects key to global success. Why we’re left behind - is quite a refreshing revelation on another education issue as to which medium of instruction is best suited for the proper learning of our children.
OP-ED COLUMNISTS. Inquirer gets Habito, Tiglao–and more of David - is a report on the changes on the schedules and roster of the Inquirer's own columnists.
The scores today:
Binay: 1
Bangit: 1
Arroyo: -1
The Inquirer seems to continue bringing out incomplete reports based on our monitor of their Front Page. However, and in fairness to the paper, we have not monitored the inner pages which might have dealt with some facts supporting the main reports. So I advise that readers of this Inquirer monitor and the readers of the actual paper judge for themselves whether the Inquirer is doing a better or worse job now than before and not rely on our monitor alone.
