Pro-Duterte Bloggers Should Also Avoid Spreading Their Own Version Of #FakeNews

It's stupid how some pro-Duterte bloggers are complaining about the Dilawans spreading fake news. I do believe that this Edward Angelo "Cocoy" Dayao guy should be charged with spreading misinformation ASAP. On the other hand, there's also fake news from the Duterte camp. What's so said is that some pro-Duterte bloggers are becoming Dutertards. I support President Duterte but I don't want to treat him like he's never wrong. Richard Gordon and Panfilo Lacson both offer constructive criticisms to President Duterte and so should pro-Duterte bloggers. After all, Change won't be Coming without fixing mistakes in President Duterte's plans.

What fake news have been spread by some pro-Duterte bloggers? News like Leni Loud Robredo is planning to resign or has resigned, the news that Agnes Callamard was supposedly arrested - I want them to happen like some SATIRICAL news that I wrote but fake news is fake news regardless where it comes from. I want to see Leni Loud out of her fake office ASAP, I want to see Callamard arrested ASAP - but we have remember to stick to the facts. It's all about never stooping down to the level of the Yellowtards.

The truth of the battle is that it's not just about President Duterte or the Yellowtards. It's all about the battle of facts. One could think about how Thinking Pinoy handles his blog. Grace Poe-Llamanzares praised him for his research. You can think how Thinking Pinoy is truly a thinking Pinoy for sticking to the facts. The problem with using fake news to combat fake news is this. It will spread more disinformation and unfortunately they end up promoting each other instead. I believe that the reason why some Dilawans and Duterte supporters are getting so much attention is from all the mud they throw at each other.

Also, it's time to learn the difference between satirical news and fake news. Adobo Chronicles writes joke news for your amusement. I write satirical news with the obvious "Satirical News:" in the title so people will know I'm just writing a joke. Unfortunately, some people tend to pass Adobo Chronicles as fact instead of fiction. Right now, some pro-Duterte bloggers need to find out whether or not they're passing satirical news and should never make any fake news. It's best to win the battle without using dirty tactics that #TindigPilipinas is using.
