My goodness!

It's the height of network war.

As I turn the TV on, I see a juicy, loaded commercial bearing the the statement of the network. And mind you, it is complete with cue words (highlighted in bold font), cuts and documents to lend an official tone, dramatic statements, the station logo - the works!!! Then when I flick the remote, there goes the response of the other one. They keep getting back at each other that you'd think the court case is right in your own living room (what a literal sala, hehehe... )

Let me just say that I'm well aware that the matter of ratings (and in relation to that media honesty, public trust, and survey credibility) is a truly important issue. It's certainly worth discussing and resolving. And so ABS-CBN and GMA's stance of defending their integrity is perfectly understandable.

But it's getting too much.

I think I'm not alone in feeling that the methods the competitors are employing to get through this brouhaha are unimpressive. If for anything, they make me want to turn the television off. Now how's that for their precious ratings?
