Garci tape and media responsibility
I concur with what Ms. Marit
Stinus-Remonde wrote in her column [Feb. 19] entitled, “Handle
Garci Tape With Care.” The different media entities must assume
absolute responsibility for everything they broadcast or publish.
True to form, there are media houses that air or
publish any made-up news just to grab the attention of readers,
listeners, or viewers. Their cruel intention is to magnetize
ordinary people as well as advertisers by giving them personal
benefits and satisfaction. This is wrong, very wrong.
Now that the Supreme Court is
giving the broadcast media the freedom to air or not to air the
Garci tapes, the media can exercise “responsibility.” Hopefully
and prayerfully, the truth will come out. Now.
