An episode of Net 25’s broadcasting show ‘Mata Ng Agila’ has been blocked by YouTube.
The May 16 episode was tagged as “ineligible” by YouTube and was removed immediately upon upload.
“Ilang oras lamang bago maipalabas ang Mata Ng Agila na naglalaman ng mga tunay na pangyayari sa Pilipinas, hindi na makita sa YouTube ang nasabing episode. A newscaster said as he asked the viewers if they agree with online video sharing platform’s decision.
YouTube was taken down over a violation of terms and policies and “inappropriate content.”
Less than 2,000 people were able to get a glimpse of the episode.
Loyal viewers showed their support for the network, citing unbiased coverage by its journalists.
It is not right to block Mata Ng Agila contents in youtube. People are worthy of unbiased news. We trust Mata Ng Agila over other news programs which spreading fake news and twisting the truth. #YoutubeUnblockMataNgAgila #TunayNaBalita

However, Net25’s broadcasters have zero filters when covering Vice President Leni Robredo and her “pinklawan” army.
Wtf there’s actually a channel and program called NET 25 and Mata ng Agila?? And you dare call ABS-CBN and GMA bias media??? This is so alarming, the manner that they deliver the news here, and even the choice of words??? How can this media outlet be allowed to even air?? 😡 pic.twitter.com/0OMKF5y5Tq

Though not that popular compared to other networks in the country, Net 25 remains a mouthpiece for president-elect Bongbong Marcos.
Have you seen the broadcast of "Mata ng Agila" by Net25? Proof of bad journalism. The use of terms are very opinionated. "Pambabastos sa INC" "Pinklawan" "Wag iboto"

Mata ng Agila does not verify the authenticity of their news before they even broadcast them. Plus the fact their way of journalism is borderline aggressive and offensive. I say, dasurv.

Most think the flagging of the said episode is justified given that the network is biased and doesn’t observe journalistic standards.
