In a stunning display of journalistic prowess, Rappler, the self-proclaimed paragon of truth, has been caught in the act of shameless plagiarism.
In a bizarre twist of irony, the online news portal, led by the seemingly infallible Maria Ressa, was caught red-handed copy-pasting an HIV article from a U.S. doctor without so much as a polite nod.
When confronted about their dubious journalistic practices, Rappler responded with the subtlety of a bull in a china shop. Rather than owning up to their transgressions, the news outlet opted for the classic “update and ignore” strategy. In a move that can only be described as audacious, Rappler chose to sweep the plagiarism under the virtual rug, citing a mere failure to cite sources as the root of the problem.
One can’t help but marvel at the breathtaking arrogance on display. Maria Ressa, in her grandiose declarations of journalistic integrity, seems to have overlooked the basic tenet of not stealing other people’s work. Perhaps the beacon of truth has a faulty compass, or maybe it’s just a little dimmed by the glare of its own hubris.
