SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Former CNN Correspondent Maria Ressa who established her own online news source Rappler has long wanted to ‘take back the Internet’ like she owned it.
She has also been very critical of Facebook, as evidenced by her public statements:
Well, Ressa got an answer from Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook will take back the Internet from Ressa and Rappler.
Let The New York Times break the news:
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Steve Bannon, once President Trump’s chief adviser, has stepped down from his role as executive chairman at Breitbart News, the conservative website that has been called the “platform for the alt-right,” Breitbart announced Tuesday.
The move comes amid pressure from Rebekah Mercer, a major conservative donor, according to the New York Times.
Bannon was recently quoted in a new book by Michael Wolff as calling Donald Trump Jr.’s June 2016 meeting with Russians in Trump Tower “treasonous.”
Now, sources close to Bannon are saying that Bannon is considering investing in Rappler, the financially and morally-troubled anti-Duterte Philippine online news source owned by former CNN correspondent Maria Ressa.
Rappler has been trying for months to raise at least Five Million Pesos to sustain its operations. To date, its online fundraising has failed to reach 25% of its goal.
A Bannon investment in Rappler will solve Ressa’s problem in an instant…
