Me, ranting

Aside from his voice that sounds like tabloid vocalized, that Michael Rogas can really annoy anyone with his "hostage victims" line. Can't he just say hostage or hostages?

Says Luchi Cruz: "The operative word is avoid." (referring to their guideline/policy on interviewing a hostage taker)
The TV5 news chief suggests that drafting a law to prevent the media from interviewing hostage takers is unnecessary or shouldn't be done.

Interesting point Senator Joker Arroyo makes when he said it's disturbing that journalists can now judge what should or shouldn't be done in a crisis situation (referring to the media's insisting the reliability and sufficiency of their "coverage policies and guidelines").

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III left for the United States as one of PNoy's de-facto advance party, having been invited to be one of the members of the business delegation for the RP President's first foreign trip. Apparently, he obliged himself the task to implement damage control after his ABS-CBN News chief wrote an "unexpected" opinion article for the Wall Street Journal.
