Netizens slammed Mocha and Nieto for wrongly labeling TV patrol report as fake news.
Two of Duterte admins prime supporters, RJ Nieto of Thinking Pinoy blog and PCOO Asec Mocha Uson has labeled TV Patrol report as fake news.
Nieto and Uson on their respective Facebook pages have called out TV Patrol for purportedly airing a “fake news” regarding Korean language being part of DepEd’s junior high school curriculum.
In a Facebook post, Uson asked whether the report was fake news or an honest mistake. She pointed out that the caption on her screenshot says Korean language but the video showed a teacher writing Japanese characters.
FAKE NEWS O PAGKAKAMALI LANG???
Korean ang sabi ngunit Nihongo/Japanese sulat sa larawan. Matatawag po ba natin itong FAKE NEWS? O sadyang nagkamali lang?
Sa totoo lang po maaring nagkamali lang at hindi naman sinasadya o matatawag na FAKE NEWS ito. Ngunit kung tayo o mga bloggers ang nagkamali sigurado akong balita na ito sa karamihan ng MAINSTREAM MEDIA at sasabihing FAKE NEWS tayo. Kaya hindi masisi ang mga netizens kung sabihin ito ay FAKE NEWS din.
Meanwhile, Nieto on his Facebook page also chided the TV Patrol’s report for allegedly airing fake news. Nieto said on his post with the same screenshot as Mocha that it was Japanese and not Korean.
“Psst TV Patrol, Japanese yan, hindi Korean. SUSMARYOSEP. #FakeNews,” Nieto wrote
But the two who were dubbed as the purveyor of fake news incidentally got a taste of their own medicine. It turned out that Carolyn Bonquin’s TV Patrol report was not fake news as claimed by the two if only they watched the whole video and not just a screenshot.
ABS-CBN Digital’s Jojo Malig defended the report saying Japanese was also part of DepEd’s elective subject along with Korean and others. It just so happened that the two chose to capture the whiteboard with Japanese characters to make it appear that the report was erroneous.
“Pakibura iyan, Mocha. Mapapahiya ka. Kasama ang Korean sa mga elective language ng DepEd, kaya may Japanese syllabary shot.
Nood muna sa link sa baba.
Kaya ka pinagtatawanan eh,” said Malig.
Several netizens also blasted the two for labeling the report as fake news which it turned out was not.
