Of Journalists and hidden principles

I happen to peek on some bus dude's newspaper. Well, same old local news. Barely any coverage on outside news. Well, I can't blame them. It is a tabloid, after all. However, I quite fancy how the writers (and possibly editors) write the stories.

Okay, first off. It's too exaggerated. I don't know if it's Filipino nature to exaggerate stuff. Basically, it's either too exaggerated, or the description is too vivid that it kinda cross the boundary of exaggeration. Which leads me to another intrusive thought. "How come these news are (almost) always biased?" I mean, seriously, It's like a fairy tale. The bad guys are labeled 'bad guys', No defense for them whatsoever.

For one, I don't really care about bitches fighting. It's a cliché. However, what piques me is how editors seem to sway for that bitch who is apparently weaker than the other bitch. It's like they're trying to hide some details that might give defense to others.

Or maybe there's something else.. Or I dunno. Newspaper didn't exist to debate with readers. That's why we have blogs...
