Although he has become the largest news distributor in the world, "he's biased against facts, he's biased against journalism. If you don't have facts, you can't have truth, you can't trust. If you don't have any of these, you don't have an academocracy." added the co-founder of the Rappler site, awarded with the Nobel together with the Russian colleague Dmitry Muratov for having "freedom of expression safeguarded ".
