The ultimate blurring of lines

It's Korina Sanchez holding hands with Mar Roxas on Showbiz News Ngayon -- a showbiz program using a newscast format -- as the journalist and the politician talk about their wedding. It's a watchdog of the powerful, a.k.a. a woman of media, planning to get wed with the powerful himself, a.k.a. one who might be President, on a show reporting on gossip using a format, a.k.a. a newscast, that's supposed to be based on facts.

Between news and propaganda and information and entertainment, the lines are blurrier than ever.

that's why there's some of us who are still conscious of that line, and who can police it. ;)
