Unverified, sensationalized reporting
POSTED BY CMFR || 26 February 2014

JEERS TO ABS-CBN 2′s Bandila for blatantly violating the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas’ (KBP) Broadcast Code of the Philippines and the network’s own internal “Standards Ethics Manual” in a report about an alleged ‘flesh-eating’ disease that the same report said was “slowly spreading” (unti-unting kumakalat) in the province of Pangasinan.

The first of a two- part ABS-CBN special report tagged #MisteryosongSakitsaBandila aired 24 February 2014 reported two cases of people with supposedly ‘mysterious’ (misteryoso) “skin and flesh-eating” diseases.

Bandila’s anchor Julius Babao in his spiel prior to the report proper said, “Isang misteryosong sakit ang unti-unting kumakalat ngayon sa Pangasinan, isang sakit na tila umano’y kumakain ng balat at laman ng tao … (A mysterious disease is slowly spreading in Pangasinan, a disease allegedly eating people’s skin and flesh)”

Bandila reporter Jasmin Romero was shown wearing medical scrubs, mask and gloves while interviewing two patients from the town of Sta Barbara and Villasis, Pangasinan. According to the report, doctors could not tell what the patients’ ailments were.

Family members of the patients were interviewed. A medical official was also interviewed about the condition of a patient from Villasis town, who, among other statements, said the patient’s ailment was not psoriasis.

Bandila’s report was deliberately sensationalized, and the reporter did not interview any other source. The result was panic among Netizens that spread to other people around the country.

The story was in violation of ABS-CBN’s own “Standards Ethics Manual” Responsibilities to the Public Sections, which declare that the news must “(i) avoid needless pain and offense; (iv) Avoid sensationalism and hype; (v.) Seek clear, unambiguous accounts of facts; and, (vi) Be on alert for spin and other forms of media manipulation.”

The report also violates the KBP’s 2007 Broadcast Code of the Philippines, Article 1 Section 9.c of which states that “The presentation of news and commentaries must not be done in a way that would create unnecessary panic or alarm.”

Parang masyadong ng bumaba ang journalistic standards ng ABS-CBN News simula ng mag-resign si Maria Ressa nuong 2010. $:-\$

both networks are just as guilty of sensationalism....
the ratings war and therefore advertisement war is the root cause...
public service to them is like movie film making, all about making money....

that is the reason i am now looking at Solar news more these days...
solid journalism, just like they did during pre martial law days' channel 5,
the Big News anchored by Bong Lapira and later on by Jose Mari Velez
delivered credible and non sensationalized solid reporting....

yang si jasmin romero, aiming to be the next abscbn queen -- aral kay ate koring at karen davila

kaya rin nasipa si alex santos (co-host ni taberna sa UKG) dahil kuryente rin sa 2 part semsationalized reporting. nadamay c kabayan kaya pinatigbak tuloy ni noli.

Karen Davila is awesome.......beauty and brains....she makes more sense than ate Koring....
Ted Failon is more intellectual than kABAYAN, sorry to say, kabayan i think has been tainted....

Listen how Kabayang Noli asks questions, it has already been told by the newscaster yet he still finds to reiterate the obvious. What a total f*cker, I just hope the viewers are smart enough to discern what they're driving at.

Even CNN has gone down sensational journalism. These two are fallen victims of that format.

they would rather use the word "bumagsak ang rating" rather than say nabawasan ang rating....this is the height of sensationalism.....

Ang, Gozon confirm talks over GMA Network

GMA Network Q1 profit plunges 46 pct

Looks like GMA is losing income, ratings and talents.

Yup, according to an GMA 7 insider, only eat bulaga! and their news and public affairs department are what makes them stay afloat. ABS-CBN is beating them virtually in all slots..

tony · « **Reply #609 on:** May 28, 2014 at 07:07 PM »

ABS-CBN rules in the talent division, they have the strongest stable of actors and actresses,
they start with "going Bulilit" then to Luv U, then to the teledramas.....they have more home grown singers now...

but the GMA's news and public affairs is way better than that of ABS-CBN's....

GMA owners to sell ‘minority’ stake to Ramon Ang

steelcrazy · « **Reply #613 on:** Jun 24, 2014 at 02:52 PM »

30% will be sold to Ramon Ang from shares of Gozon, Duavit, and Jimenez for 16B.
Atty Felipe Gozon will remain CEO.
Ramon Ang will be the biggest share holder but under agreement, the 3 original owners will be united thus still owns the majority.
