President Aquino is wrong to think that the fundamental nature of news has changed. But he is entirely in the right when he calls journalists to account according to journalism’s own standards. Unless, of course, journalists think those standards are only meant to be paid lip service.
“Negativity” in the news—the word the President used in his remarks at BusinessWorld’s 25th anniversary rites last Friday—has become the shorthand defining what an ABS-CBN story online would later call his “scolding spree” against the media, even though the real controversy erupted only after the President directly criticized ABS-CBN anchor Noli de Castro at the 25th anniversary party of the iconic “TV Patrol” newscast, later that same Friday.
As he did in his third State of the Nation Address, Mr. Aquino certainly sought to draw attention to what he described as an excessive obsession with the negative, this time by zeroing in on the media. In his “TV Patrol” remarks, he said in Filipino: “If Juan de la Cruz’s nightly fare is bad news, then his heart and mind will really waste away from lack of hope.” On this point, it is easy to sympathize with the President, but hard to agree with him.
