                    [Title] => When all else fails, there’s always delusion
                    [Summary] => Late night talk show host Conan O’Brien was supposed to have given that advice in a commencement address, five years ago, at his alma mater, Harvard. It seems, politicians here and abroad have taken his coping advice to heart. How else can one explain news reports over the past week that can only lead to the conclusion that many leaders of nations today have become delusional?

Tingin ko, sa harap-harapang debate sa ibang presidentiables, kayang-kaya niyang mangibabaw sa pingkian ng katuwiran at kaalaman. Tinalakay niya nang may kumpletong datos ang mga problemang pagkabuhayan ng bansa, na ang ugat aniya ay ang lugmok na moralidad (moral bankruptcy) sa mga umuugit ng pamahalaan.

People not only want news all the time, they also want opinion to shape their thinking and let them decide.

And this time, free TV is not only the source of these needs. Cable TV, surprisingly, is.

Else, why is the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) topping the ratings? A recent AGB survey conducted in Mega Manila showed that ANC was steadily rising in ratings, that it’s one of the most regularly-viewed cable channels, catering to the upper and middle class.

The concrete aqueduct was supposed to last 50 years. Today, less than 15 years after it was commissioned, it is literally falling apart.

Before the interviewer faces the camera, there is the matter of getting the subject to trust him enough to grant an interview. Then the interviewer has to know how to make the subject comfortable so he would answer questions honestly and candidly. The interviewer sometimes has to balance between satisfying the public’s curiosity and being responsible enough not to make a fool of the subject.
