The fans got agitated slammed Soho and the news network for its alleged biased reporting on the issue.

In Wednesday night’s “postscript” of the news program, Soho said: “Dito po sa State of the Nation kagabi, sa ulat ng aming reporter na si John Consulta, naipuntos ang maikling time interval sa pagdating sa lobby ng condominium ng mga taong sangkot sa kaso ngayon ni Vhong Navarro.

“Lumabas din sa aking Q and A o question and answer kay John Consulta na importanteng ebidensiya ang CCTV footage para sa imbestigasyon ng NBI. Nabanggit ko rin na ang CCTV ay tila naaayon sa naunang pahayag ni Vhong Navarro tungkol sa nangyari sa kanya.

“Katulad po ng aming pagbabalita sa panig ni Vhong Navarro, ibinabalita rin po namin ang panig nina Deniece Cornejo at Cedric Lee at ang iba pang mga may kaugnayan sa kaso.

“Makakaasa po kayo na ang GMA News ay nananatiling walang kinikilingan at patas sa pagbabalita.”
