Pinuna ng Canadian ang ABS CBN: 'Nahihirapan akong makita ang halaga ng inyong pagbabalita'


Ang paraan ng ABS CBN sa pagbabalita kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ay nakuha ng pansin ng isang political scientist sa Canada na si Amir Assadollahi . Sinabi nito na ang istilo ng pag-uulat ay higit pa sa "pag-atake" laban kay Duterte.

Sinabi ni Amir Assadollahi na kahit na sa sya ay nasa labas ng Pilipinas ay nakikita niya ang mga benepisyo na dinala ni Duterte sa Pilipinas, gayunpaman, ang higanteng media outfit ay binabaliktad ang mga magandang plano ni Duterte para sa bansang Pilipinas.

Binanggit din ni Assadollahi ang insidente sa Turkey na ang mga security guard ng pangulo ng Turkey ay binugbog ang mga protesters mismo sa US at ang gobyerno ng US at ibang bansa sa Europa ay nanood lang.

Nilinaw niya ang "mga halaga ng kalayaan at demokrasya" sa US na ngayon ay tila nawawala na.

"Ang US ay isang kaibigan ng Pilipinas, ngunit kailangang isipin ng Pilipinas kung ano ang pinakamahusay para sa Pilipinas at hindi kung ano ang pinakamahusay para sa US o EU, at itigil ang paghingi ng mga handout at itigil ang isang bagay na walang kahalagahan na hindi nararapat.

Napansin din ni Assadollahi na mali ang mga numero ng mga patay sa digmaang kontra-droga na kinalat ng media ng Pilipinas at binalaan niya na ang kasanayang ito ay likas din sa Hitler propaganda.

"Pinag-uusapan mo ang ilang mga maling numero, at patuloy mong inuulit. Dapat marinig mo ang sinabi ni Hitler tungkol sa pag-uulit ng mga kasinungalingan, tama?" Kung nagsasabi ka ng isang malaking sapat na pagsisinungaling at sabihin ito nang madalas, ito ay pinaniniwalaan, "sinabi ni Assadollahi.

Sinabi niya sa ABS CBN na hindi nila kailangang sumang-ayon sa mga patakaran ni Duterte, gayunpaman, dapat silang maging responsable sa kung paano nila iniuulat ang kanyang mga balita. Pinutya pa niya ang organisasyon na kahit na siya ay dayuhan ay tila naiintindihan niya nang mas mabuti kung ano ang gustong ipahiwatig ni Duterte sa mga Pilipino.

Ito ang sinabi ni Assadollahi sa Facebook:

"Aren't you getting tired of the same line of attack?!

"It is getting really boring, and I have a hard time seeing any value in your news organization. Consider that as a constructive feedback and not as a criticism, because you don't take criticism very well at all.

Even I as a foreign observer can see what your President is saying and I don't need to speak Tagalog or be a Filipino to understand what he is aiming to achieve. You got yourself a good president, someone who actually cares for your country and the Filipinos, and someone who is tirelessly hardworking. In my life time, I have not seen anyone as dedicated as him in bringing the Philippines back on the global map. His strategies are sound and well calculated, he does not do anything out of whim, and definitely he is an open book if you really want to read him. What he says is the honest truth, and yes, truth hurts and sometimes "honesty is a lonely thing" as John Lennon wrote, but that does not mean you should play with what he says or does and twist and turn things as you feel fit for you.

You obviously do not read history of the world at all. He talks in literal terms and in historical terms. All empires and all powers collapse and fall, and that is a historical fact, and you rather than understanding that simple fact that even a junior high school student should know by studying the world history, you take it and turn it into your own sick and twisted game for your own amusement.

Just a few days ago we all saw how the Turkish president's security guards beat up the protesters without provocation while on the U.S. soil and while their president was watching. Don't you think that is a failure of the U.S. democracy and values right there?! Don't you think that is the sign of weakening of the U.S. values of freedom and democracy that once the strength of those values made the U.S.A. great and an envy to the eyes of the world?!

You talk about some strange numbers, and you keep repeating. You must have heard what Hitler said about repeating lies, right?

"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."

Hitler did that, and you are doing the same thing as he did to convince everyone a "big lie."

Everyone knows that from the day your president was elected to lead your nation, your country became one of the most invested country in the region. He has fixed many problems the previous government had ignored or purposely created. He has brought the Philippines and the region one step closer to peace and prosperity. He has put the Philippines' national interests ahead of the foriegn nations' interests - something that your previous governments in the last 30 years have been willingly ignoring!

The U.S. is a friend of the Philippines, but the Philippines needs to think what is best for the Philippines and not what is best for the U.S. or E.U., and stop begging for handouts and stop looking like something of no importance that is not deserved to be included in the big leagues as a high roller. Now the Philippines can enter into the big leagues because of your President.

Every economist knows that the U.S. economic power is not as strong as it used to be, and every strategist knows that all the countries around the world need to shift their foreign policies, but somehow your news organization cannot get it though its (your) thick heavy skulls filled with cement.

Your President has made your country be seen as a power player, and he recognizes the importance of the Philippines in the global market economy, and to do that he must reform the Philippines as fast as possible, but somehow you people (the thick headed journalists and corporate news organizations) can't get that though your head.

I don't have to agree with all the policies of your President to support or understand him, as you don't have to either, but you have to let the people (the foreign nations and outsiders) better understand his speeches. I am a foreigner without knowing your language so much, but it looks like you are the ones who need interpreters to understand his speeches. It is actually a sad thing to observe that in you.

On a sarcastic note, let me know if you needed an interpreter to understand your president. I'll be gentle to explain things to you as if I was explaining it to a ten-year-old.

Don't be mad if you felt my commentary made you feel I was putting you down - certainly that was not my intention and you may have misinterpreted things again - I just wanted to give you a constructive feedback, one that you could understand in a language and tone of voice that you are familiar with."
