Analysis by Raïssa Robles – President Rodrigo Duterte is now trying to blame the press for his troublesome mouth, which gained him worldwide notoriety a few days ago.

After calling President Barack Obama the “son of a whore”, which his aides claimed he had apologized for, (an apology which didn’t alter Obama’s decision to cancel a personal meeting with the Philippine president) Duterte seems to have decided it’s all the journalists’ fault.

He accuses media of “misquoting” him and “spinning” what he said during that fateful press conference in Davao International Airport prior to his departure for Laos.
