Korina Sanchez Suspended by ABS-CBN Management for 2 Weeks?
Korina Sanchez was noticeably absent on TV Patrol since Thursday. The reason that they want you to believe: she's on vacation. But is she really?
There are speculations among netizens, however, that the real reason for the veteran journalist's absence on the Kapamilya primetime newscast was because she got suspended by the big bosses of ABS-CBN. And what's the ground for suspension? Perhaps the incident last Wednesday when she criticized Anderson Cooper on her DZMM radio program questioning the credibility of the American reporter (CLICK HERE FOR RELATED ARTICLE) and rebuking his claim that "there was no government presence on the Yolanda-affected areas."
Sanchez's "attack" on Cooper ballooned into global proportions on Friday after CNN picked-up the incident in their report tagging the Kapamilya news anchor's commentary as "bizarre" and "inaccurate." Cooper, during the broadcast, defended his coverage by saying they were only "reporting what they are seeing." He even challenged Sanchez to go in Tacloban to see the situation herself.
The word war between Sanchez and Cooper became hot topic on the internet. After Korina's radio program last Wednesday, she received flak from netizens.
ABS-CBN has yet to release a statement regarding Sanchez's absence (perhaps later today). It's also uncertain if the veteran news anchor will be summoned by MTRCB, too, just like what the board did to Arnold Clavio when the Kapuso news anchor berated the counsel of detained businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles on "Unang Hirit."
