In a victory for press freedom, the Philippines’ Court of Tax Appeals today acquitted Nobel laureate Maria Ressa & Rappler, the news company she co-founded, of four charges of tax evasion after more than four years of legal proceedings.

I'm gonna relay to you something my father told me about one of the first #jouralism jobs he had.

It was in Scottsbluff, where I was born.

Seems there was this loudmouthed politician with high aspirations that hit upon an interesting way to boost his career. He'd just keep making shit up, waving his arms and for a time, it worked.

If this sounds familar wait for it.

. . . "We all just stoppped covering every crazy thing he said," Dad told me.

Wish nationally it were that easy.
