ABS-CBN: Weasel Word Alert!

Dear ABS-CBN,

In “Pro-Noy Celebrities Defended” , Reyma Buan-Deveza writes:

Osorio also downplayed speculations that ABS-CBN was favoring Noynoy. The speculations cited the network’s purported too much coverage of his activities. Some also said that the senator allegedly gets too many airtime on ABS-CBN because his sister is a contract star of the network.

I remember my teacher telling me to be careful about Weasel Words. Maybe you should remind Reyma to avoid using weasels.

Weasel Word Alert: Who are these “some” … The people need to know!

Salamat Po,
Ako Pa Rin

P.S.

Ano po ba ibig sabihin ng ABS-CBN news website kapag sa ilalim ng article nakalagay ay: -With a report from Bernie Franco, ABS-CBN.com. Ibig sabihin po ba nito ay si Bernie Franco din ang nagsulat, or tumulong magsulat, or nagprovide ng information?

ABS-CBN and Reyma Buan-Deveza: Wikipedia, Again?

Dear ABS-CBN,

Please tell Reyma Buan-Deveza to stop using Wikipedia as a source. In her “If Noynoy wins, will Kris act as First Lady dated 11/03/2009″, she writes:

According to Wikipedia, a first lady, traditionally the spouse of the sitting president of the country, has no official duties. She nonetheless attends many official ceremonies and functions of state either along with or in place of the president. The first lady also frequently participates in humanitarian and charitable works, Wikipedia said.
