Manila, Philippines - Rappler Chief Executive Officer Maria Ressa always
praises the media company she runs as the “God’s Gift to Journalism” every time she has an opportunity to do so.
On Ressa’s tweet on Saturday, slammed her former employer
and one of the biggest broadcasting company in the country, for allegedly
posting an article online with a subhead using ‘Rappler’s headline’,
“Here’s an example of
glass-half-empty, half-full. The ABS story ran a sub-head that is Rappler’s
headline. What headline would you have used?” Ressa said, with links to
Rappler and ABS-CBN’s articles.
ABS-CBN’s article title read: “SWS: Most Pinoys find freedom of speech ‘very strong’ under Duterte.” the subhead was as follows: “But half of
Pinoys believe printing, broadcasting anything critical vs gov’t ‘dangerous’”
Meanwhile, the title of Rappler’s article read: “Majority of Filipinos think it’s dangerous
to publish anything critical of Duterte admin” Ressa’s twitter post.
Whatever the purpose as to why
Ressa is making a big deal on ABS-CBN’s article subhead, while it is obviously different
from Rappler’s perspective.
As usual, Ressa must be in the
mood to proclaim that Rappler is superior as always over other media entities.
