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.

What is wrong with these senatongs, whom were supposed to have been elected by US - THE PEOPLE, who keep referring themselves as THIS REPRESENTATION, whose salaries are paid by US - THE PEOPLE?
Dahil sa tayo ang nagpapasweldo sa kanila, aren’t they supposed to be working on our dime? Bakit hindi natin, ANG MGA TAONGBAYAN, dapat malaman ang kanilang pinag-uusapan? Ano ang dapat nilang itago? Bakit kailangan silang magtago? Bakit tayo nila dapat pagtaguan, tayo na naghalal sa kanila upang protektahan ang interes natin, ng taong bayan, na sumumpa sila na tayo ang kanilang pagsisilbihan (ang mas nakararami imbis na ang mga Arroyo). Ano ang masama na malaman natin ang pinag-uusapan ng mga tao na inihalal natin? na sinusweldohan natin? na binibihisan natin? na binibigyan natin ng pambili ng kanilang pagkain? ng kanilang ikinabubuhay?
BAKIT WALA KAMING KARAPATAN ? WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE, PHILIPPINE SENATONGS?

for all those whose comments on the Inquirer are all negatives,just don’t read it, but leave us PDI enthusiasts in peace.If you don’t like an article or a reading material, don’t read it , If you don’t want what is being shown in the television, turn it off.It is as simple as that, don’t build up the tensions and stresses unneccessarily.

I think this is nothing, but a RIVALRY !!!
The DIRTIEST STORIES being reported, the more readers they’ll get…
Like in POLITICS !!!

i love PDI. been a reader since high school. but please, if PDI wants to maintain a high moral ground and continue with its advocacies, it should seriously consider their kind of reporting. even sen. joker has rights and i think he is treated unfairly with his comments merely relegated in the inside pages and the reporting was as if it was the whole truth based on the so called anonymous sources. i remember the first time i got disappointed witht the PDI was when it placed the Kris and Joey love quarrel in the front pages and justified it as news of national importance, ha ha ha. i love PDI and i do not wish to see it degenerate into a national tabloid. sayang naman ang pinundar ni Mam Egi.

In news reporting, usually the writer always add color and spices to their news in order to be readable. I think thats what happens to Ms Juliet Javellana. That kind of writing is irresponsible. Even the major news media in the planet always use “… in condition of anonymity”. Wow. Just like saying something to a reporter like “My father is a killer and please don’t tell the public that I told you so because I am his son and he might kill me”. If it’s really true then why is Ms Javellana is afraid of telling the public of who really told her? Or just because it did not really happen at all? I’d rather prefer be hanged for doing something right than lying in order to sell something like her invented stories.
