SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Mark Zuckerberg is sick and tired of mainstream media masquerading as legitimate news outlets, like Rappler in the Philippines.
Today, he announced the launch of Facebook Satire News, in partnership with some of the most respected satire news sites all over the world.
In a press statement, Zuckerberg said Facebook users deserve a page dedicated to brilliant and entertaining reporting of worldwide news developments as opposed to the biased and sloppy reporting by so-called legitimate news media.
Ironically, Rappler is a designated Facebook fact-checker, along with Vera Files. Zuckerberg said the contracts with the two fact-checkers will soon be terminated. “It’s just not working,” he said.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo has finally responded to President Rodrigo Duterte’s challenge that she assume the position of Philippine Drug Czar for 6 months.
In a statement released to the media, Robredo said:
”I am humbled by the President’s offer for me to be his Drug Czar even for just six months. I wholeheartedly accept.
It has always been my dream to be the CEO of the country’s leading drug store chain, Mercury Drug. I know I can utilize my enormous talent to ensure that the drugs made available to the Filipino masses are always “bago (new).”
It is about time that our government pay full attention to the plight of the less fortunate among our countrymen.
I promise that in the next 6 months, Mercury Drug will beat out all its biggest competitors, including Watson’s.”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It pays to tell the truth or at least help in spreading it.
For her fact-checking article defending Rodrigo Duterte amid reports that the President received humiliating treatment while in Japan to attend the enthronemnt of Emperor Naruhito, Rappler’s star reporter Pia Ranada is now allowed back in Malacanang.
It will be recalled that Ranada was previously barred from the Palace grounds and from being a part of the Malacanang Press briefings.
However, Rappler CEO Maria Ressa isn’t necessarily happy about this new development. She told The Adobo Chronicles that she can no longer claim that Rappler’s Press Freedom is being curtailed by the Duterte government.
Just swallow your pride, Ms. Ressa. Your claims don’t add up to reality anyways…
