It's not the first time this administration harassed the media for reporting on gov't corruption and other issues

Let's start with the muzzling of PROBE team by Mike Arroyo and Efraim Genuino for their expose of the PAGCOR scandals, which led to the cancellation of the award winning show.

or the admin accusing GMA7 reporter Tina Panganiban Perez of "abetting rebellion" for interviewing "the other side" in the Oakwood mutiny incident in 2003. More on the "abetting rebellion" here.

Or the harassment suffered by Tribune editor in chief Ninez Cacho Olivarez by the hands of Arroyo lawyers by having her arrested and arraigned 19 times. Her only offense was the tribune's expose on the extortion attempts by Arroyo's lawyers on FRAPORT, which led to FRAPORT going to the World bank for arbitration:

The complaint lodged by Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (Fraport) before the Word Bank arbitration body in Washington DC served to confirm the "tens of millions" extortion attempt made on the German investor by presidential aides, Gloria Tan-Climaco, presidential adviser on Strategic Projects; Presidential legal counsel Avelino "Nonong" Cruz; and his former partner and President Arroyo's personal lawyer, F. Arthur Pancho Villaraza.

More on this here.

Or how about the report that ISAFP (arroyo's spy organization that did the wiretapping on the Hello Garci tapes) had designated the respected media institutions and groups like PCIJ and NUJP as "enemies of the state"? Pati yung simbahan/CBCP damay...

Or the attempt to gag PCIJ for reporting on the questionable character of Gov't asset and coverup artist Jonathan tiongco?

Arroyo also falsely accused Julius Babao of bailing out a terrorist. Ang problema'y hindi naman si Babao ang nag-bail kay Dawud kundi yung asset ni Mike Defensor mismo na si Jonathan tiongco.

UPDATE: Read this Memo from Arroyo's MTRCB on their attempts to control the media.

The problem with arroyo is that there's too much corruption and too many questions about her legitimacy for the media not to report on this. Sorry, Mrs. Arroyo.
