Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa Can’t Handle The Truth!

1 Comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Maria Ressa, yes that very same Maria Ressa, convicted criminal Rappler CEO and infamous Nobel Laureate can’t handle the truth.

Once again, Ressa proved that the only facts she knows are hers, and anyone who challenges her gospel truth gets blocked.

Among the latest to be blocked by Ressa on her Twitter account is the Movement for Media Reform (MMR), an online all-volunteer movement whose goal is to address bias and disinformation in the news and social media.

It is believed that Ressa’s last straw with MMR were these two posts — one quoting text from from the Philippines’ Court of Appeals in its decision affirming her cyber libel conviction, and the other a graphical representation of her using Freedom of the Press as a shield for media accountability in a quote from the Manila Regional Trial Court.

As Jack Nicholson said in that film classic ”A Few Good Good Men,” Ressa can’t handle the truth!

EXCLUSIVE! Amal Clooney Willing To Go To Jail With Maria Ressa

1 Comment

LONDON, The United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – International Human Rights Attorney Amal Clooney today told The Adobo Chronicles that she is willing to go to jail with Rappler CEO and convicted criminal Maria Ressa!

Clooney, a member of an international team of legal experts helping Ressa with her Philippine court cases, was reacting to the outrage expressed by Filipinos over her meddling into the country’s domestic affairs.

In her reactions to the Court of Appeals decision to uphold Ressa’s cyber libel conviction, the wife of Hollywood actor George Clooney said that as a Nobel Laureate, Ressa should be celebrated, not jailed. She also said that the (President Bongbong) Marcos administration should show the world that it is strong enough to withstand scrutiny and allow a free press.

Filipinos criticized Clooney for making public statements despite being ignorant of Philippine laws and facts on the ground.

”I am not just superficially sympathetic to Maria Ressa,” Clooney told The Adobo Chronicles, ”I stand with her 100% in defending press freedom and women’s rights. I am willing to be her cell mate if she ends up going to jail.”
