TODAY’S headline story (”Neri was ready to talk about ZTE“) is proof that the PDI is downgrading itself from a broadsheet newspaper to a typical tabloid.
It did not [give] any news but gossip, hypotheses, hearsay, and political intrigues. PDI should be aware that its audience is not that dumb. We have too much of Tiktik, Taliba, and Abante. Please start relaying real news. Leave the tsismis to the Buzz and Startalk.

Magaling na rin magtago ang mga tusong politiko kasi…kaya kung hindi katok-katukin ng mga “tabloidish” style of pagbubunyag, di magka-crack e. Okay din naman na medyo tsismis…wala kasing makuhang detalye ang mga writers when snooping as these people are too careful. They are aware that once the media got wind of the story, it will spare nothing.
Even TV news reporting are embellished with showbiz now to get the attention of the masa. No doubt, Inquirer does the same.
Aminin na natin, we Filipinos are less of a reader talaga. Just observe which section get to be read first… or look at the Inquirer.net which part get the most visit.

very true, now i learned how to pick which news or headlines are worth reading. with enormous amount of news publish at the PDI website everyday, in my opinion only 3 -5 articles are worth reading even the editorial and opinion articles written by biased opinion writers doesn’t deserve to be read. another thing i observed too the article titles are quite confusing and has double meanings.

I agree. I used to be an avid reader of PDI since the days of EDSA II. Now, I’m not sure anymore. Neri, in his own words during the senate hearing said that he used his own judgement in revealing topics of his conversation with the President. He then followed by saying that there was no high crime committed and there was no evidence to that effect, otherwise he would have said so. And these were his own words. People just failed to listen because of selective listening. I guess what the senators and the PDI wanted to hear was for Neri to pin down PGMA which did not happen.
