Today's main banner in the Inquirer Front Page is no news at all(Congress final count: It’s Aquino-Binay. Proclamation set Wednesday at Batasan). It is plaingly stating the facts of the events though and we cannot see if it is beneficial to anybody.
The other news in the front page today are as follows:
Cory general ready to serve as DND chief; Bangit won’t quit - this news report seems to be both negative and positive to President-elect Aquino. Positive because it seems to push for Bangit's courtesy resignation, while negative because it puts Aquino's back on the wall on the matter of Gazmin's selection as Defense Secretary. I judge the news as ultimately positive to Aquino though for its tagging of a "landslide" victory. Funny though that the Aquino camp would want Bangit to offer his courtesy resignation to save the new President from a situation where he would replace Bangit without justification, which is actually the case. If our mass media is normal, the incoming President would have been embarrassed already by the situation. Still, Aquino +1..
Binay thanks voters, Cory, FPJ, Erap, Chiz - is positive to both Aquino and Binay. It gave special treatment also to Chiz Escudero. Aquino +1. Binay +1. Escudero +1.
House ends poll probe; ‘koala’ ignored - is a continuation on talks about poll fraud, which would have benefited Congressman Locsin, the main resource person interviewed, if only we are monitoring him.
Climate crusader gets warm welcome - is a news coverage on former US VP Al Gore's visit/lecture/presentation in Manila with Arroyo in attendance. Gore received purely positive treatment from the report which is not counted here in this monitor.
Inconvenient beef: Go vegetarian, Gore - is a coverage of a group of animal lovers who wanted Gore and his environmental message to be more vegetarian.
New iPhone 4 features face time for video chat - is 99% positive to Apple, the company that produces the iPhone, not counted in this monitor.
Achievements of Arroyo to be paraded June 12 - is supposed to be a positive press release for Arroyo, treated negatively in a mocking tone by the Inquirer. Arroyo -1.
So, the scores today are:
Aquino: 2
Binay: 1
Escudero: 1
Arroyo: -1
Arroyo seems to get the whip, and would still get the whip until the very last day of her administration, or beyond.
