May 14, 2011

A news report given belated headline treatment yesterday is continued today with the President taking up most of the space.



The headline report (Killings of environmental workers alarmed palace. President honors ‘green’ martyrs) is about the President and a Secretary given space to comment on the environmentalist's murder given belated central treatment yesterday. Aquino +1. DENR +1.

The other front page news report today:

SPECIAL REPORT. How ‘coconut levy funds bought SMC shares’ - is part 2 of a feature on the coco levy, a story obviously want to be told by the author. Marcos -1. Cojuangco -1. Chavez +1.

Cops kill 13 suspected rebels in 2 encounters - government forces were said to give rebels some "tactical defeat". AFP +1. PNP +1.

US ship, Osama’s funeral barge to dock in Manila - a US ship calling port is treated with some degree of controversy. US -1.

Rights abuses remain under Aquino administration, Amnesty International laments - it seems it still killing time even with President Aquino at the helm. Aquino -1.

Toys for boys, bling for girls at Senate; Pacquiao has it all - some senators and congressmen are really rich people, perhaps questionably. Villar -1. Arroyo -1. Marcos -1.

The scores:
DENR: 1
AFP: 1
PNP: 1
Chavez: 1
Aquino: 1 -1 =0
Cojuangco: -1
US: -1
Villar: -1
Arroyo: -1
Marcos: -2
