Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa Can’t Handle The Truth!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Maria Ressa, yes that very same Maria Ressa, convicted criminal Rappler CEO and infamous Nobel Laureate can’t handle the truth.

Once again, Ressa proved that the only facts she knows are hers, and anyone who challenges her gospel truth gets blocked.

Among the latest to be blocked by Ressa on her Twitter account is the Movement for Media Reform (MMR), an online all-volunteer movement whose goal is to address bias and disinformation in the news and social media.

It is believed that Ressa’s last straw with MMR were these two posts — one quoting text from from the Philippines’ Court of Appeals in its decision affirming her cyber libel conviction, and the other a graphical representation of her using Freedom of the Press as a shield for media accountability in a quote from the Manila Regional Trial Court.

As Jack Nicholson said in that film classic ”A Few Good Good Men,” Ressa can’t handle the truth!

Facebook Launches The Maria Ressa Medallion!

MENLO PARK, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Move over smiley face, thumbs up , sad and angry emoticons. Here comes the Maria Ressa Medallion!

Facebook today announced that it has begun to roll out the medallion as a way of honoring one of its fact checkers in the Philippines, and Nobel Prize Laureate to boot.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg told The Adobo Chronicles that netizens who have been or will be blocked by Ressa can now display the specially-designed medallion. He said it will be a fitting testimony for the honor that Ressa bestows on those who disagree with, or criticize her.

So, save this medallion and display it on your Facebook page if Maria Ressa happens to have blocked you. Or when she does in the near future!
