The recent case of Ted Failon on the sudden death of her wife, Trina, had been a hot topic for the past week. No wonder because Ted Failon was said to be one of the country's most prominent news caster, and with him being suspected of murder, who would not want to talk about that?
During the investigation, the media has been delivering a blow-by-blow coverage on Failon's case like a major catastrophic event, which I believe have been overly exaggerated to a point where the media forgot their objectivity just to sell their news.
While Ted Failon can be called a "celebrity", the way the media portrayed the incident was overly exaggerated that most of its stories revolved around Ted.
Because of this, certain biases are made because the media tends to portray Failon as a “victim” instead of the traditional “suspect until proven otherwise” we see on police stories.
These biases can easily affect the case since the authorities, just like what we saw on TV, can’t conduct a thorough investigation since the media keeps bantering on the technicalities of the case.
While I do sympathize on Ted Failon's case, I believe that the media should stay focused on their reporting and leave it up to the authorities if Ted is guilty or not.
