I couldn’t understand how it could stand all the savaging that it got from Congress without putting in some bold word of protest.”The media critic was referring to the House of Representatives hearing where lawmakers grilled ABS-CBN executives for hours, over mostly rehashed issues. 'Network may be used for indoctrination'Santos is among the board of trustees of media watchdog Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility. Does ABS-CBN really want to be, in the end, accused of complicity with this regime?” the media critic added.
