Speak out: What do you call this journalist?
By Hector L. Fernandez
Fernandez Fernandez Law Offices
I was amused and amazed at your blind column, the Bzzz, in today’s (May 13, 2006) issue of (this) newspaper about the lawyer you alluded to as ill-mannered.
What do you call a media man who was confided with a very sensitive information to be kept in absolute secrecy in the meanwhile because the amount received would soon be returned, and after assuring her with a big yes, the radioman aired the case in his radio program? As a result, the government employee who gave the information was charged before the Sandiganbayan.
And what do you call a journalist who kept on attacking the accused in a kidnapping case and his lawyer almost everyday in his column and radio program, but after the accused was acquitted, he did not even apologize for his error but kept on attacking the accused, his lawyer and the judge?
And what do you call the same journalist who repeatedly called a dead man “sagbot sa katilingban” in his regular radio program and column until the mother, who loved her dead son so much, was stricken ill and died?
And what do you call this man who always extends his arm in handshake to another man and soon afterward attacks that man in his radio program?
I’m at a loss for description of those media men who live upon the miseries and heartaches of other people.
