Indifference and impunity in the murder of Filipino journalists

Let me put on the table right away the reason why President Aquino and our criminal justice system feel no urgency or commitment to end the dismal record of impunity in the murders of journalists in this country.

Police investigators, justice department officials and some members of the bench are uncomfortable with the media. In displaying indifference and unconcern, they think they are only reflecting Aquino’s constant blaming of the media for his loss of public support.
