December 9, 2010

The President in a fighting mood against the Supreme Court is the banner story in the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today.


The headline (Aquino slams SC decision. Don’t stand in my way, he warns ‘blind, deaf’) is an almost unchallenged opinion of those supporting the administration against the Supreme Court. Aquino +1. De Lima +1. Arroyo -1. SC -1.

The other news today:

DISSENTING OPINION. ‘An affront to a coequal branch of gov’t’ - a report on the different opinions by the SC justices themselves, but which the paper chose to highlight the dissenter in its headline. SC -1. Arroyo -1.

Bishops tell Aquino: Don’t give up, find other means - Opinions galore, giving the bishops defense of Aquino's intentions and their similar search for truth in Arroyo's supposed corruption much space. Arroyo -1. Aquino +1.

Pinoys make it to football semifinals - a story on a surprisingly much better Philippine team qualifying in the semis of the SEA football tournament.

US fears Sino pressure on PH, allies - a report that gave China prominence via a leaked information from a US source. US -1. China +1.

PH joins China boycott of Nobel rites - a report that says the country sided with China against the Nobel peace prize to a Chinese dissident. The report did not mention as to how the country (or who) came to a decision not to attend the Nobel ceremonies, indirectly shielding the President from any averse opinion.

Videoke sessions pay off for Inquirer divas - an insider newsletter type of event report that made to the front page. Inquirer +1.

TELLING THE FILIPINO STORY TO THE WORLD. For MRP, it is all about empowering, inspiring - we fail to get the link to this report but our monitor is confident to presume this is a continuation of self promotional stories by the paper. Inquirer +1.

The scores:
Aquino: 2
Inquirer: 2
De Lima: 1
China: 1
US: -1
SC: -2
Arroyo: -3
