Jiggy Manicad binatikos sa usapin ng press freedom; supalpal kay Raffy Tima
ERSTWHILE broadcast journalist Jiggy Manicad was under fire for saying that the press freedom is not under attack.
“We just do our job as reporters, as journalists. Because at the end of the day, if it is really an attack on the overall press freedom of the nation, I’ll be the first one to fight,” he said in a recent interview.
Of course, it was met with scathing remarks, more so because he was once a journalist.
His colleague at GMA 7, Raffy Tima Jr., was one of the brave souls to contradict his statement. Via a tweet, Raffy sort of lambasted Jiggy.
“Sad that even veteran journalists have succumbed to being a parrot on a lot of issues, echoing sentiments from social media with little or no context and background. Ratings? Hidden bias? Or laziness? We are obligated to contextualize the TRUTH from all sides. Let’s do our job.”
