Insulting bloggers.

The media, as far GMA7, ABS=CBN, CNN Philippines are concerned, are commendably tact. The reportage is par excellence. I cannot say the same for the other networks, because I do not tune in to the other channels. I seldom read the papers, too, because the internet comes faster. The media follow a code of ethics. Journalists profess to follow that code. Bloggers, on one hand, are all on their own. On another hand, bloggers must impose upon themselves to follow a standard that will make them responsible for their own actions.

@Letranknight2015 Hmmm, I do not watch nor listen to the despot, it is sickening. But I watch the news, looking out for signs of the Gog and the Magog. We must be prepared, for the hour is near. And it is our duty to tell everyone, because that is under the pain of severe consequences. Sigh.

@eileenleyva That is the price of freedom of speech. Thanks to the social media, some of those partially being reported by the network are being cleared by most bloggers out there. I don't even blog, I don't watch the news either ever since 2010.

@eileenleyva Well, ok. I probably do not have the complete details about this issue. Or maybe I have not been that active in blogging.

@neildc tkeep with the blogs, we need to write so revisionism will not happen. The fake news is just one problem. There are people who are really trying to write a different story. If we write the truth, they will not succeed.

Discernment is probably a gift. I was shocked at sixteen million blinded and actually cast their votes to a professed killer. I was even more shocked with the ;land of the free and the home of the brave electing a trumpster for America's leadership. Of course, Russia obviously had a hand in that. The Union Soviet may have lost the cold war and gone glasnost and perestroika, but Russia now is asserting domination of the world. I blog, too, That is why I was insulted. I did exercise caution in writing the stories in my blogs/

Yes, thank you, louievill, it is good to be back. Mylot is a home, and I cannot stay away from home far too long. Oh wow, you said it, crazy is as crazy goes. There's a bitter pinch that I feel watching all the hullabaloo, from greedy, despicable politicians, to fame wh_res of a bloggers, to rogue cops, weeping mothers, angry students, distanced clergy, and stunned masa, where I belong. Was a spell cast on our country?

@eileenleyva you said it, wonder what we have done wrong to deserve all these, we just can't stand and watch helpless while they tear apart all democratic institutions as well as check and balances that we all fought very hard for or maybe it's really our destiny, I feel so angry and frustrated. Doesn't it feel like getting raped by a madman while helpless?

@eileenleyva talk about crispy expletives for breakfast and a banquet of spun lies and accusations, fake news, divisiveness, threats, killings, open violation of our constitution, jokes and shameless puppets and topped with a sprinkling of more curses while the economy continues to fail. , It simply challenges the intellect. After all I have gone through seems like this is the only time I'm thinking of giving up and leaving our country.

That is true. That is why we must make the extra effort to verify and validate. The truth is always important. When the facts are gathered and understood, we can make a sound judgment as to which is right and which is wrong.

A blog is one's personal site shared to people in the internet. Bloggers come from all walks of life. A mother who talks about rearing her children, a chef who takes extra care about his food preparation, an athlete who records his daily practice and progress, a traveler who narrates his experiences in another culture, or a writer who uploads his poetry or prose, for the goodness their passion and dedication can bring to others. When the posts are uploaded to attack or destroy another, that is not blogging.

@ilocosboy what was posted was shared fake news, unverified. That is totally contradictory to a personal blog. Bloggers carefully post their own words and their own pictures about their own selves and their advocacies and passion. The government official posted works of others, putting a malicious caption that falsifies a truth,

I think its still a blogging; you post what's on your mind, your views of what is happening in the government, you defend or criticize the current government officials if they did it in blog, its blogging (I got it from your first two paragraph.)

That actually qualifies the term blog. Blogging entails decency. Take away decency, then the writing becomes chisms or malicious mischief. But I don't quite agree with Eleanor Roosevelt. We talk about people all the time, but that does not make our minds small. Eleanor Roosevelt is referring to the rumor mongers, not the decent conversations that actually uplift the spirit.
