Philippine President Rod Duterte is Time's Person of the Year, 2016
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – After receiving a lot of flak for its latest issue whose cover depicts the Philippines and the government’s war on drugs, Time magazine recalled all copies and immediately replaced its cover to better reflect the truth.“We are committed to reporting only the truth, so when we err, it is our responsibility to correct our error,” the magazine editors said.
The new copy includes an apology from the writer of the cover story, Rishi Iyengar, and the local Philippine journalists who fed him the misinformation.~

Janus-Faced* Media
Dr Abe V Rotor
Media! how you make and unmake a situation,
clinging to truth divine just an illusion;
what could glitter more than a merchant's gold
cowers in robe and emblem the bold.
Thus the wall less empire thrives at the boundary,
fence sitting to where the winds carry
the news and bounty like horse and carriage.
seemingly blind, and often in rage.
Quo vadis? journalism of Ka Doroy Valencia et al,
fathers of this profession whose fall
rose a Mandela, King, Gandhi, a thousand more
on the battlefield, and across the shore.
Who is the master, who is the slave? In between
the throng, and bandwagon its twin;
bereft of their right for truth, reduced into a fool;
Oh, media! the all-knowing, deceitful. ~
