Rappler has long been known for its sloppy and lazy journalism. They are the most consistent practitioners of “social media curation” as a means to harvest free content to populate their dishonest articles with. The most recent set of “curated tweets” published by Rappler is their report “‘Nakiki-angkas lang’: Imee Marcos’ presence at Angkas rally […]
It’s been several weeks since Manila Times columnist Bobi Tiglao wrote about the lies Rappler CEO Maria Ressa told about her so-called experience as a “war correspondent”. In his 13th November 2019 piece “Ressa was never a war correspondent; she just watched CNN’s video tapes”, Tiglao points out… For somebody who pontificates in detail how […]
Outrage continues to grow over the astounding breach of public trust over the hand the Philippines’ mainstream media played in the spread of disinformation surrounding the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Renowned Rappler “reporter” Rambo Talabong, for example, continues to stand by his tweet where he asserts kikiam (a kind of pork-filled sausage of some sort) […]
Irresponsible Opposition “thought leaders” and social media “influencers” are in BIG TROUBLE after spreading disinformation surrounding the food served to athletes participating in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

A statement posted on Twitter by Rappler in the form of an image outlined their response to the complaint. For its part, the Inquirer, contacted by GMA News for its report on the story has declined to comment. “We will wait […]
Maria Ressa, CEO of Rappler, fashions herself as some sort of victim. But is she? It is evident that she has a lot of friends in high places and, more importantly for her, in Western places that she conscripts to her nefarious ends. Ressa speaks about how people are “weaponising” the Internet and even the […]
I read an article about Rappler CEO Maria Ressa on the Australian Financial Review where she is quoted appealing to Facebook to help hold Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to account. She said “the only people who can actually do something to level the playing field in the short-term are the social media platforms”. Huh? Facebook […]
A recent study conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) found that Filipinos disagree with Maria Ressa’s “assault on press freedom” fear mongering.
