Media Critique
This article is about how the people of the Philippines think that their president isn't doing everything in his power to help the people after the deviating typhoon that struck the country on November 8, 2013. One of the seven yardsticks that this article does not follow is fairness.
It tells about how the people of the Philippines got aid that they really needed but it wasn't enough to help everyone. What it's forgetting to include is that the storm only happened less than a week ago and all of the streets are still full of the aftermaths of the typhoon meaning that the aid trucks can't get through.
This article is says that the roads are closed but it doesn't go into detail. And it's blaming the president as if it's all his fault. Instead of focusing on what the president is doing to help the author is focusing on what he isn't doing to help his people. Fairness is getting all sides of the story not just one side and this article didn't do this. It just focused on the negative.
