The case of RJ Nieto and Mocha USon--when you give power to dimwits

I disagree with so-called "thinking Pinoy" RJ Nieto and Mocha Uson that blogs are "essentially opinion-based" sites. Generally, blogs are sites which exhibit experiences by people. It is a journal. It is a source of information, whether an information which is critical in the formation of an opinion or purely information. 

For example, RJ Nieto reveals a new information or he narrates his experience covering a particular event, that blog becomes "news" because it came from a "coverage" of a particular event. There are instances when blogs do not just purvey opinions--- it is likewise used as news platforms. 

That is basic. And I simply don't know why Nieto and Mocha are insisting that they did nothing wrong. 

When you write a blog and you tell people that this thing is happening or had happened, or you share a news item from a fake news site and then coat it with your own opinion, you are practically aiding in the spread of that false information.

Is it illegal? Probably yes because if it attacks a certain person and it causes him undue harm, that is punishable thru the Cyber Crime law. The law punishes those who spread a libelous news item. 

Is it patently immoral? Absolutely yes! You practically contributed to the diminution of progressive thinking in this country. When blogs become weapons promoting base ideas, these blogs become dangerous sites.  

Honestly, I don't read Thinking Pinoy, because it is a site that demeans Filipinos. It is a divisive site just interpreting the meaning of the title alone. It's a site of an imperious person, the kind that thinks he is the only one to be believed or the only one that monopolize opinions. 

RJ Nieto, who claims to be a "Thinking Pinoy," needs psychiatric treatment. Like his principal, Mr. Duterte, RJ Nieto exhibited streaks of megalomania when he addressed members of the Senate during the probe about this so-called "fake news." He showed that he is an imperious person, the very same traits shown by several other Duterte supporters. He is a disgrace to the blogger community. Someone describes him more of a "thinking panot" than a "thinking Pinoy."

The manner by which Mr. Nieto answered those questions by his fellow government officials is condemnable. Like how Mr. Faeldon treated Senators during the Customs hearing, Mr. Nieto showed a demeanor similar with those of the SS during Hitler's time. They have one-tracked minds. 

That is simply the effect of giving power to the dimwitted.
