On the dispute between @GilCabacungan and @rapplerdotcom over a @Politiko_Ph story which Rappler, as an accredited FB fact checker, tagged as ‘false’, I believe Rappler's action was wrong, fraught with conflict of interest and, if not corrected, sets a dangerous precedent. THREAD 2) From where I stand, it looks like Rappler is staffed by young, dedicated and idealistic journalists who are passionate about what they’re doing. They believe strongly in their cause, and are led by veterans who are some of the country’s best in investigative journalism.
