So dapat jud dili nila hadlokon ang media outlets for airing this conversations.
AFAIK, they are not harassing but they only said that it needs to be regulated.
I agree, but the Watergate scandal was investigated and authenticated so there was no stopping to it na. It's different there because there are lesser destabilizers, cheating in elections is remote, the citizenry are relatively more educated so they don't react to mere propaganda, the people are good sports, the people do not want to destroy their country, they know where they stand and takes this kind of thing seriously and people are afraid of the law.
Here in our country, nahulog pa lang ug chismis gi-air na dayon sa TV ug radio. Maayo unta ug showbiz chismis ra dili pa gyud. The good thing about U.S. gossip is that there are some truths to it because GENERALLY the paparazzis takes real pictures and does some investigating and not mere hearsay and intirigue popularized by just some sort of propaganda. if U.S. gossipers will adapt the philippine style of chismis then rumor mongers in the U.S. will not be interested because there is not a speck of logical basis at all. bright ra kaayo ang chismoso didto.
e.g. *** videos thru MMS, who is regulating that? WALA right? it is all for our "entertainment" but who is thinking of the person victimized by these? WALA! so since they have a means & resource in regulating things that are published or aired that's why they are doing so for the higher good.
