Aquino blasts media critics who ‘elevate blood pressure’

BARELY a month after saying that “ignoring” his critics will be one of his New Year resolutions, President Benigno Aquino 3rd on Monday lashed at his detractors, especially in media, whom he described as “irresponsible.”

Aquino, who was the guest speaker during the 114th anniversary of the Manila Bulletin on Sunday, said many newspapers “elevate blood pressure,” “trump up the worst news possible” and “cause despair.”
