NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – In a taped interview for Dr. Oz’s television show, Republican presidential candidate surprised the doctor host by showing him a letter detailing some aspects of his medical record.
The letter showed that Trump is in good physical health, except for being overweight, taking medication to manage his cholesterol, and for having high levels of testosterone.
The testosterone imbalance explains Trump’s love-hate relationships with women, including his ex-wives, his opponent Hillary Clinton, as well as FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly.
The letter from Trump’s doctor, while detailing his physical health, did not mention anything about his mental health.
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Just days after Facebook and Twitter announced they were joining a coalition that would address the problem of misinformation and fake news on social media, the two Internet giants said that they would also ban legitimate media — not all, but the biased media.
Upon learning of this new development, three Philippine news media companies scrambled to convene their respective legal departments in an effort to challenge Facebook and Twitter on their latest policy announcement.
The three news media companies are Rappler, Inquirer and ABS-CBN — biased media all.
It wasn’t clear whether GMA will be included in the ban now that former presidential sister Kris Aquino has joined the network after deciding not to renew her contract with ABS-CBN.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Yesterday, the online Philippines news site, Rappler, published a story on efforts to clamp down on misinformation and “fake news” on the Internet.
Rappler reported that social media giants Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have joined forces with some of the biggest media groups in the world in the First Draft partner network, a collaboration hoping to tackle the Internet’s biggest problem: the unabated spread of misinformation.
Filipino netiziens immediately took to their social media accounts to comment on the Rappler story.
