I am dismayed that a significant portion of my article entitled "Misinformation on Coal" was cut and was not published in the The News Today.
Below is the section that was excluded. See previous blog entry for complete article.

Shameless
The sad story here is that some media entities are becoming to be part of this misinformation. An example is the shameless practice of this certain news daily in slanting all its news stories for the coal plant and maligning those who opposed the project.
This newspaper, while it proclaims itself as “Western Visayas’ Most Read and Respected,” has a weird concept of balance news. It is balance in a way that it gives good publicity in proportion to the weight of your wallet.
An interesting coincidence is that the publisher/editor of the paper is the paid PR manager of the coal plant proponent.
