In an impressive display of journalistic prowess, GMA News recently showcased its unimpeachable commitment to truth by breaking the news that former Senator Ralph Recto is set to become the new Finance Secretary. However, their unassailable source wasn’t a high-ranking government official or an official press release—it was none other than actress Vilma Santos, the wife of the supposed appointee. 

Apparently, the crack investigative team at GMA News decided that obtaining information from the spouse of the person involved was the epitome of cutting-edge journalism.

One can only wonder if the breaking news story was penned by the scriptwriters of “It’s Showtime” or the retired brain trust of “Eat Bulaga.” 

Perhaps GMA News is pioneering a revolutionary approach to journalism, where reliable sources are replaced by psychic connections or prime-time entertainment shows. 

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton—let’s see if it pays off for them in the credibility game.
