Is ‘other people’s bias’ Inquirer’s advocacy?

/ 12:56 AM March 10, 2012

This refers to the Letters to the Editor section of the Inquirer last March 7, particularly two letters from your readers attacking Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

By favoring the detractors of Senator Santiago over other letters, the letters section may have put into question the Inquirer’s impartiality and sense of journalistic balance.

We appeal to the powers-that-be of the Inquirer to be vigilant of the practice of favoring one side of the issue. Please do not let your readers misconstrue other people’s bias as your advocacy.
