November 5, 2010

As a one up from the good forces versus terrorists is how the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page came today.


The headline (Suspected bomber held. 4 carrying explosives also seized in Bataan) looks like a press release from the defense department but kept the President unmentioned. DND +1.

The other news today:

Neri, Cunanan face tax evasion charges - all negative press for Neri, an Arroyo appointee, with a nary of a reply from him. Arroyo -1.

Obama blames election loss on ‘ugly mess’ - a combined AP/AFP report on the results of the midterm elections in the US.

54 solons off to Texas to watch Pacquiao fight - a report that inadvertently shows another reason why Pacquiao should either quit boxing or should have not been a congressman. The report though gave too much credit to Pacquiao as kingmaker not only in the country, but believe it or not, in the USA, giving the report away as all positive for him. Congress -1. Pacquiao +1.

Lead lawyer in massacre trial dies - a report where the best prosecutor we apparently ever had became known to and featured by the mass media only when now that he is dead.

Parcel bomb sent to Burma embassy in ’02 - a report that confirms we are used to terrorist threats.

‘Shut up already on Ping, just arrest him’ - while Sec. De Lima still enjoys good space for what she said, this news report came from the point of view the she's been talking too much and found wanting on action, making it negative for her possibly the first time in the Front Page.. De Lima - 1.

Travel alerts, raw reports, irk Aquino - an opinion piece from the President on the Travel Alerts, that shows him to be a tough guy. Aquino +1.

The scores:
Aquino: 1
DND: 1
Pacquiao: 1
Congress: -1
De Lima: -1
Arroyo: -1
