The power to choose is directly at the mob they are calling. The mob they wish they could sell their products to. --- TV, newspaper, radio, and others mainstream media, on the other note is subject to discretion of a few. They choose the explosive headline, they choose the number one music video, they choose the current hit song, they choose "which part should be shown," and they choose who is beautiful and who is PIG. This few people, can be also considered lynch mob din ah. Yet they also call themselves experts in the field. --- Internet knows no ethics because is just a great equalizer, the idiot and the smart, the healthy and the dying, the rich and the poor...are all equal.. it is not only about hyper-speed. But modesty is human though. --- I am not taking emerson's words for granted, yet, some message must be conveyed, even if that means through blogging and internet. I guess the old media has to face its own fear.. experience and wisdom of the old versus creativity of the young. --- "Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! in the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us seniors very unnecessary.--RWEmerson" Dahil naka-dial up ako di-ko napinanood ang videos.

Sad as it is, nobody actually gets injured by it. Several stern letters to the editor and a public apology from the publisher should suffice. I think Tingog has made a more significant contribution to society by discussing election cheating and other relevant issues with concrete consequences. Unfortunately the media is not paying attention to that positive contribution of blogging. Why so much attention on Malu Fernandez, she wrote a lame article that insulted OFW’s.

A "lynch mob" is thus a misnomer....maybe used by MF deliberately to portray herself as a victim. There was no lynching...it just so happened she pissed off a whole lot of people from all corners of the world and they were all eager to express their anger. Also, I like how Jocel defended his decision to keep the comments poking fun at MF's weight. As I've said before, if calling MF a pig is all someone can articulate regarding the matter, then who are we to censure/censor them?
