He said, they said; whom do we believe now

It is more fun criticizing

The general public, the readers of the news are getting confused. Whom do we believe now:   the mainstream media, or the bloggers?   The newspapers, the govt information office or other people in the know:

1.  Narco politicians 

Take the case of a now on extended vacation City Mayor in West Visayas (and he may not return for good for fear of his life). The said mayor is in narco list of the administration and as a proof of the severity of the case, the bemedalled  police officer who saw the demise of two other mayors alleged to be on drug trade was to be transferred to his city (Fortunately the transfer was, may be because of public outrage was deferred).  The good mayor denied the alleged connection with the drug trade.

However, upon interviewing the residents, they told that nothing could be further from the truth.  They alleged the now dead No. 1 drug lord in the city, now dead, funded his election winning.

And then another drug lord, who cant be caught, finally was arrested when he  left the country

2. About the minors killed  alleged to be  innocent  

There was an outcry over the minors, alleged to be innocent by their parents and their relatives.  The public and the relatives could have been led into this turmoil by  a  certain govt offices who want to be popular, and the media.  When there is controversy, copy and broad cast sell.

But we have to be critical of these kind of news.  The fact is many minors have become criminals:  engaged in drug trade, pretty crimes and even hold ups.   The parents naturally will not admit nor accept their young  children to be such.   Iba na mundo ngayon.  Maraming bata ang mga pasaway. And if the police operates against them, and they offer resistance, naturally we can say they asked for it.

Let us suspend our judgement and not jump into conclusion about these alleged involvement of the minors in crimes
