A torrent of criticisms

The right of reply bill, passed swiftly in the Senate and still to be deliberated in the House of Representatives, unleashed a torrent of criticisms. Here are few:

• 
  

  Insidious censorship by Amando Doronila

  
  


• 
  

  Stark irony by Juan L. Mercado

  
  


• 
  

  Not enough study went into reply bill by Neal Cruz

  
  


• 
  

  Open Door to Media lynching by Amando Doronila

  
  


• 
  

  Dictating to the Media--Editorial of the Inquirer
  



• 
  

  Right to edit--Editorial of the Inquirer

  
  


• 
  

  Malice aforethought by Luis Teodoro

  
  


• 
  

  Right to reply: legislative blackmail by Amando Doronila

  
  


• 
  

  Right of reply bill is totally wrong by Neal Cruz

  
  

With huge stumbling blocks thrown its way, it's likely that the next headline will be: RIGHT OF REPLY BILL SHELVED.
