The sweeping legal and moral victory of the Philippines in its case against China over the dispute in the West Philippine Sea was the banner story on Tuesday, July 12, in the websites of four of the biggest news organizations in the United States.
It was a rare moment of positive exposure for the Philippines as The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times ? arguably the most credible and influential news outfits in the US ? put the landmark decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Netherlands as the main story in their online sites.
