GMA News Online: Sorry for the Inconvenience, Here’s the News
At GMA News Online, every headline feels like it was triple-checked by ten lawyers, twelve therapists, and your nanay, just to make sure no one gets their feelings hurt. Even disaster coverage reads like a customer service apology letter.
Digital media analyst Carmela Ignacio observes, “They could announce a zombie apocalypse and still find a way to say ‘we regret to inform you.’
Readers are comforted by the politeness. “When I read GMA News, I feel mildly anxious, but also gently reassured,” said reader Marco Dizon.
Auf Wiedersehen, bold statements — GMA News Online is here to deliver world-ending news… but only if you’re ready, and it’s okay with you.
