Ah, the art of dodging accountability—DDS bloggers have truly perfected it. Post some wild, unverified claim? No problem! Just slap on a “this is not a news article” disclaimer and—poof!—instant protection from facts, logic, and libel laws.

MJ Quiambao and her peers have mastered this loophole, feeding their audience a buffet of half-truths, conspiracy theories, and creative fiction, all while saying, “Oops, not a journalist! Just sharing what I heard!”

It’s the digital equivalent of throwing a grenade and yelling, “But I’m not a soldier!” Or serving expired food and saying, “This is not a restaurant!” Meanwhile, their fans eat it all up, because, apparently, disclaimers turn nonsense into gospel truth.

And let’s not forget Tio Moreno’s legendary “based on what we’ve heard”—the perfect excuse for spreading chismis on a national scale. Journalism? No need! Who needs facts when you have vibes and viral engagement?
