In this day and age of the internet, speed precedes accuracy!
This is especially true among the big TV news networks who would try to out-scoop their competitors any chance they get when there is a developing news or a newsworthy event for their news-hungry audience.
A case in point is CNN Philippines who has been perceived by netizens as one of the remaining neutral news company in the country today.
The international news network has earned the respect of the netizens when it hosted one of the Presidential debates during the election campaign for showing no political bias against or towards one candidate during the course of debate.
But lately, CNN Philippines got the attention of netizens when it erroneously referred VP Leni Robredo as the 14th President during their news telecast of the VP’s inauguration.
Check out the screenshot below to understand what the fuss is all about.
Let us check out how the netizens respond.

In fairness to CNN Philippines, the incident could have been an isolated case and nothing more.
What can you say about this?

The fake Vice President
Mr author, when did CNN Philippines hosted a presidential debate?
I think it is isolated case…..just like last Independence day wherein the Philippine Flag was placed upside down by Facebook…the red was up…and we were not at war! In fairness they apologized for that mistake….
Ngarap kapang lugaw Queen na ka
What the hell is going on with media these days. Bayaran na rin ba kayo CNN? Leni is not the President and she’s not the real winner in the VP position either.
Ows not a big deal. That’s only an honest mistake
