Pepeng and the Evening News
My eyes were set on evening news because of the anticipated Pepeng storm when I heard the News Anchor comment on a news report about the mass wake of the poverty-stricken victims of the typhoon Ondoy.
The news anchor said "Kawawa..."
I find it off that this news anchor would comment that way. It is like adding insult to injury. I do think that some of the victim's situations are nakakaawa but to magnify that on air is a stab to their collective dignity.
I think news anchors and all media personnel should inhibit sharing their affections and/or opinions on air. They should only deliver the news as it is. They should feed the information-thirsty people the what, when, how, why, who.
Opinions should be aired on some other program and not a news program. That is why I think newspapers are better. Facts are on a seperate sheet as opinions.
Only news and no shit please.
