Although the main news today mostly came from the point of view of the Ombudsman, and although she came in well prepared with cheerers for her press conference, which the basis of the headline report (Gutierrez: I won’t resign. Close ties with Arroyo no reason to impeach her), Gutierrez still came out as a bad person. Of course, we know she is vilified because she is supposedly working under Arroyo. Arroyo -1.
The other Front Page news today are as follows:
Fiesta in Spain; mourning in Holland - a combined report of AFP and Reuters on the WorldCup.
Aquino warns military as 3rd activist killed - the President himself seems to be blaming the military without basis for a 3rd activist killed within 12 days of his administration, perhaps forgetting that he is now the commander and chief of the AFP. The news report is approached positively for President Aquino while the same would have generated vicious remarks against the former PResident had she still been in power. Aquino +1. AFP -1.
President enjoys 88% trust rating–SWS - reports on the most trusted President we ever had, showing that people trust Aquino even if the same people surveyed did not believe he can fulfill most of his promises. Aquino +1.
Gambling cabal drops Aquino’s name - a report based on an interview with a police officer (source) who while remaining unnamed named gambler Atong Ang and involved the President's uncle Peping Cojuangco in a scheme to introduce a new form of jueteng-like gambling.
E-voting no threat to old-style ballot - a report part of which was picked up from a report by the Agence French Presse with a spin to throw questions at automated elections.
Fore! Woes of customs chief not over - part two of yesterday's report on the new custom chief's dishonesty, coming from an interview with another Senator (Osmena). The Inquirer did not say why Sen. Osmena's and Sotto's (yesterday) opinion is suddenly very important.
Aquino backs drive vs ‘jueteng’ but says it’s not priority - a report that still gave Aquino positive treatment even if it seems that the President is backing down on the drive against Jueteng. Aquino +1.
The scores:
Aquino: 3
Arroyo: -1
AFP: -1
