MAYNILA — Dumepensa ang ABS-CBN News sa paratang na "biased" ito at namumulitika umano ang network sa ilang pag-uulat.

Sa kabila ng dalawang cease and desist order ng National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), binigyang diin ni ABS-CBN News head Ging Reyes na patuloy pa rin ang pagseserbisyo ng dibisyon sa pagbibigay ng impormasyon at balita na kailangan ng mga Pilipino.

Sa likod ng malalaking headlines o numero sa mga balita, binigyang halaga ni Reyes ang kuwento ng mga totoong tao.

"Ang paglalahad ng katotohanan at paglilingkod sa bayan ang layunin ng bawat mamamahayag. The very nature of journalism, of truth-telling, is public service," ani Reyes.

Mas malaki ang naging hamon para sa ABS-CBN na sa kasagsagan ng pandemya ay pinatigil sa pag-eere, dahilan para mawalan ng pagkukuhanan ng impormasyon ang nasa higit 60 milyong Pinoy.

Tulad aniya ng ibang media networks, hindi perpekto ang ABS-CBN News, pag-amin ni Reyes.

"Pero tulad ng ibang bahagi ng aming kompanya, hindi kami perpekto – wala pong news organization na perpekto. Sa kabila ng mga pag-iingat at pagbabantay ay inaamin po namin na nagkakamali rin po kami. Gayunpaman, agad din po kaming umaaksyon para itama ang mali," ani Reyes.

"Just like those in government, journalists and the news media operate as trustees of the public. As such, our first loyalty is to citizens, and our primary obligation is to the truth. We know that as we hold power to account, we ourselves are accountable to the public we serve," dagdag niya.

Kaya mayroong network ombudsman na nag-iimbestiga sa mga reklamo laban sa mga balita o tauhan ng news division. May ipinatutupad ring standards and practices unit na tumututok na nasusunod ang code of ethics at ethical standards ng network.

Binigyan rin ng pagkakataon ang 2 dating taga-ABS-CBN na ilahad ang kanilang saloobin, pabor man o hindi sa network.

"This much I know for certain: that for 15 years that I've served in ABS-CBN News... as a Malacañang reporter, House correspondent, desk editor, news anchor, and producer, we, and I speak for the news division, have never been instructed to play favorites nor to slant stories in favor or against anyone, nor to play partisan politics," ani Kata Inocencio, dating anchor ng network.

DENGVAXIA COVERAGE PINUNA

Samantala, pinapanagot ni dating Health Secretary at ngayo'y Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin ang ABS-CBN News sa coverage nito ng Dengvaxia at iba pang sakit.

Malaking oras ang ginugol ni Garin para sisihin ang coverage ng ABS-CBN sa bakunang Dengvaxia sa pagkonti ng mga nagpapabakuna sa bansa.

Kinuwestiyon ni Garin ang basehan ng ABS-CBN News sa pagpili ng umano’y experts tungkol sa Dengvaxia at public health.

Napakarami raw binigyang pansin ng ABS-CBN News na hindi totoong eksperto.

"It is tantamount to public health menace. This was cause of vaccine coverage plummeting," ani Garin.

Sinabi naman ni Reyes na sinubukan ng ABS-CBN News na kumalap ng iba't ibang eksperto para mabigyan ng malawak na coverage ang isyu ng Dengvaxia.

"In our pursuit of the truth about Dengvaxia, we sought information from various sources, experts, and officials... They gave us diverse opinions and how it was selected to fight dengue. I do understand and acknowledge your concern about the use of non-expert," ani Reyes.

CONSCIENCE VOTE

Samantala, sinabi naman ni House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano na nais niyang desisyunan ng mga mambabatas ang pagbibigay ng bagong ABS-CBN franchise sang-ayon sa kanilang konsiyensya.

Paliwanag ni Cayetano, kailangang ikonsidera ng mga mambabatas ang sentimyento ng mga kinakatawan nila.

"Well I cannot speak for the parties kasi nag-uusap-usap din sila but from the start we have been urging a conscience vote from the start... Maghahalo dito ano gusto ng kababayan mo at ano 'yung tama at mali," ani Cayetano.

Ani Cayetano, hindi na siya personal na haharap sa komite para ireklamo ang ABS-CBN ng umano'y biased coverage dahil ayaw daw niyang impluwensiyahan ang boto ng mga kasama.

Pero magsusumite siya sa komite ng kaniyang mga reklamo para sagutin ito ng ABS-CBN.

"So what I will be doing is I will be submitting in writing sa committee and asking the committee to give it to ABS-CBN management for their comments. It will be on record but I would rather not be adversarial at this moment. Maaaring last hearing ngayon pero napakaraming nagpalista," aniya.

Ani Cayetano, nasa taumbayan na raw ang paghatol kung naging patas ang mga pagdinig.

Inaasahang matatapos na ang hearing sa ABS-CBN franchise ngayong linggo.

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Thursday called the Associated Press a "radical left organization" in his latest salvo in the fight over the US media mainstay's use of the Gulf of Mexico for the renamed body of water.

Trump in his first month in office dubbed the area the "Gulf of America" and has restricted Associated Press (AP) journalists' access to the White House until the news agency obeys his order.

The White House has blocked AP journalists from Air Force One and the Oval Office, arguing that the agency was ignoring a lawful name change.

"We have a fight with one news organization, AP, a radical left organization — treats us all very badly — and they refuse to acknowledge that the Gulf formerly of Mexico is now called the Gulf of America," Trump said in a speech Thursday to the Republican Governor's Association in the capital Washington.

"We're holding them out of any news conferences now. I'm sure they'll get sued, and maybe they'll win. Doesn't matter. It's just something that we feel strongly about," he added, without clarifying what he meant about the possible legal action.

The 180-year-old media organization has long been a pillar of US journalism and provides news to print, TV and radio outlets across the country.

In a style note last month, AP noted that "the Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years" and said Trump's executive order "only carries authority within the United States."
