Borja's 911 Conection
The Daily News article, My dad will always be a hero to me! On February 13, give another great example of dreadful news reporting and then trying to cover up all the mistakes which have being made. The Article in the NY Times Investigates Borja's 9/11 Connection, you read facts about what really happen, true account and the question which should of being asked when writing a news article. The Daily News should have retracted the story or given some type of apology for the miss information about Mr. Borja. They bluntly made a mistake about him being a first respondent and when he truly arrived at ground zero. They should have asked doctors at the hospital about his condition, family and co-workers. They relied on the words of a Pilipino reporter making a world class paper assume this was all true and then reporting on third person information. The article had the making of a novel as it relayed the emotion of Ceasar Borja Jr. instead of focusing on the facts. Ceasar Jr. is quoted by the Times to his true motives of only highlighting 911 victims and not his father, but the Daily News displayed the story on an emotional tabloid base instead of of news paper story.REP. Maloney issued a statement to give the article in The New York Tines of Cesar Borja more credibility in the US Fed News. Her point was also to highlight the victims of 911 and to have the government monitor the effects of the dust and debris left by 911. These issues were the ones highlighted by Ceasar Jr. to the NY Times. Instead of news we received the emotional rhetoric of a son by the Daily News. The NY Times proves its superiority and non bias or non-ethnocentric ways of writing and article as the idea of reporting news, is that, reporting non bias issues and events.
