The RANT page

One of my favorite class in college which I never skipped and in fact, spared me from the insanely boring summer classes way back 2005; JOURNALISM.

Being that much fascinated by it, I gave up half of my allowance for a daily copy of the papers, be it Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, or Philippine Star. Once a copy land on my hand, I instantly pin myself into the nearest chair and flip pages after pages. Even these days, I make it a point to pamper myself with a good read. But the glorious days of sparing some penny for a copy has ended as communication media blossomed on the www, making it easier for the netizens to get their daily dose of the current events. I mostly browse over opinion page. I find the columns there very appealing in the sense that the columnists were (for me) the replica of the brave heroes of the lost times. Valiant, Fearless, Bold, and Daring.

But how will I treat an article of this kind?

Has the Opinion section of the broadsheets turned into a RANT page?

If that is so, I was not informed. I should have been informed!
