Ah, the Tri-comm hearing on fake news—yet another installment of our national telenovela, where the plot twists are as predictable as the bad acting.

As expected, the usual suspects were a no-show, their excuse neatly packaged in a petition pending before the Supreme Court (because nothing screams “accountability” like running to the judiciary). But fate had other plans. Subpoenas rained down like karma in real-time, and their greatest hits of disinformation were projected for all to see—bigger, louder, and even less defensible.

Adding to the spectacle, a certain “not-a-blogger” journalist tried to lawyer up, only for her counsel to promptly fold like a cheap umbrella, agreeing with the committee members.

Meanwhile, Kuryente King got a taste of his own medicine when Ace Barbers read aloud his insult—only to fire back with a not-so-subtle personal jab. And so, the circus tent remains open. Will the runaway bloggers return for the next episode? Stay tuned.
