Quirino Bloodbath – Blame the Media!

As many of you may know by now, a disgruntled cop recently killed a number of tourists. I didn’t get to watch as it unfolded because I was out, but I got home in time for the final encounter. The sad thing about all of this is the current blame game that is going on. It is obvious that our police force and SWAT teams did not do their job well, the same goes with the negotiating team, but I feel that our MEDIA should bear equal guilt and responsibility. They did not even for a second thing about the repercussions of their live broadcast of police movements… And the sad thing is, no one seems to be pointing it out. They played the ratings game and showed the people what everyone wanted to see, even at the cost of the victims innocent lives. The news are filled with reports highlighting the police’s incompetence, when I’m sure the media people know they did something wrong that day – seemingly they point fingers to hide their own shame and guilt. Here is me wishing that some big shot media guy will read this and hopefully admit their mistake and maybe improve the quality of Filipino Media…
