Possible I guess. No idea what the MSM looks like in the Philippines but doubtless they have their tabloids calling for blood over this issue, which will be entrenching his support.

 

Good point.

The article mentions that the MSM are being pretty quiet about this issue though, which I find a bit odd - not in any nefarious way or anything, just in the sense that you'd think this would be all over the front pages. 4000 executions..? Is that not a big deal these days?

:lol:

 

Gloom has made a number of good points about my views on the MSM and I'm taking some of it into consideration presently - I do respect his view on it and am educating myself further. I only made that comment because Alex basically asked me to :D

The war on drugs will never be won. The only solution is legalise/educate/regulate. Just how they did in Portugal, which is evidence this policy works. The real war is with the silly twats who want to declare war on drugs - and it will eventually be won. Just as prohibition was defeated in the US. I'm just amazed it's taking so long - think of all the tax revenues it would generate. No brainier basically.

 

I think we have a pretty in depth thread covering this subject already. No question Duterte is a massive cath word though.
