Sickening defamation of the late Chief Justice Corona and the Supreme Court

THE defamation of the late former chief justice Renato Corona as well as the Supreme Court by a Yellow columnist in her piece the other day (“Misplaced compassion,” The Manila Times, Feb. 15, 2020) is one of the most sickening hatchet jobs I’ve read.

We columnists, by definition of our jobs, express our opinions. But we cannot disseminate disinformation, regurgitate allegations proven baseless years ago and disguise these as our opinions. That kind of garbage should not have a place in a decent, fair newspaper.
