The main headline today (Flag on casket irks China. ‘Honoring hostage-taker an insult’) is a report that picture our country as being insensitive to the Chinese by having our flag draped on the dead hostage taker's coffin.
The other news today:
DILG chief defends Lim: He was on top - a defensive news given space for Mayor Lim and Sec. Robredo. Amazingly, this news report took a dig at the former administration through the words of Sec. Robredo blaming the past for the present's inadequacy. Arroyo -1.
‘Super SWAT’ was kept out of the loop - a news report that wonders why a supposedly better SWAT team was not utilized to resolve the hostage crisis, putting the PNP in deeper trouble. PNP -1.
China’s No. 2 man postpones visit - a report supposedly here in connection with the hostage crisis but actually doesn't have anything to do with it.
HK tourist holds no anger, thanks doctor - a positive reaction from a hostage victim to healthcare personnel who attended to her at PGH.
China won’t receive RP delegation until full probe is finished - a report about an obvious gaffe in our foreign relations group but was not treated as such.
There are other news today which links cannot be found from the Inquirer.com:
'Privatization Bonus?' Yes only at the MWSS
HK sets massive protest rally
The scores:
PNP: -1
Arroyo: -1
It is amazing from today's front page to realize that President Aquino's name is not included in the news, and there were not quotes coming from him nor were there any reactions, positive or negative toward the President. It is even more amazing that there is some blame going to the former administration. There is a quite an obvious difference here in the way the Inquirer has covered President Aquino compared to how they covered President Arroyo.
