Rappler, SMNI News To Be Recognized For Their Brand Of Journalism!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler, the renowned purveyor of biased news reporting, is set to receive a prestigious award for “Biased Journalism,” alongside SMNI, a network being recognized for “Ethical Journalism.” The irony of this situation is as rich as a double chocolate cake at a weight loss seminar.

Rappler, well-known for its unique approach of editorializing the news, recently published an article about the award with the headline “Red-tagger SMNI News To Get Award for ‘Ethical Journalism,'” showcasing their unparalleled talent for irony. It’s almost like a masterclass in self-awareness, though one can’t help but wonder if they truly grasp the concept.

The upcoming awards ceremony promises to be an unforgettable spectacle, with Rappler and SMNI sitting side by side, like two peas in a very peculiar pod. As the saying goes, “birds of the same feather flock together,” and in this case, it seems like the birds are wearing some seriously tinted glasses. We can only hope that this recognition serves as a wakeup call for both organizations to reevaluate their journalistic principles.

MTRCB’s Lala Sotto On 12-Day Leave After Meltdown On Satirical Post

Leave a comment

MTRCB chair Lala Sotto has decided to take a 12-day leave of absence, leaving us all wondering if the absurdity of her agency’s recent actions finally got to her. 

The MTRCB recently made headlines by vehemently denying any involvement in summoning Vice Ganda over that infamous chicken-licking McDonald’s commercial. But here’s the kicker – it turns out that the MTRCB’s outrage was triggered by a satirical piece on social media. Yes, you read that right – the agency that’s supposed to regulate television content was duped by a satirical article.

It’s a classic case of making much ado about nothing. In the past, MTRCB suspended Vice Ganda’s “It’s Showtime!” for a cake icing licking episode that they deemed child-offensive. 

Now, the tables have turned, and it’s MTRCB that finds itself in the hot seat for its over-the-top reaction to a satirical joke. Perhaps they should consider regulating their own gullibility before attempting to regulate the airwaves.
