Legislator Calls for Suspension of SMNI Over Alleged Violations Davao City-based legislator Margarita Nograles urges NTC to suspend SMNI's operations, citing violations of franchise terms and dissemination of false information. House Resolution No. 1499 highlights multiple complaints against the network, accusing it of fake news peddling and baseless red-tagging. The move comes in response to attacks on public figures and misleading information aired on SMNI. Pending recommendations, Nograles emphasizes the need to halt the deliberate dissemination of false information. The network's 25-year franchise was renewed in 2019, and SMNI has not issued an official statement regarding the resolution. In related news, the House of Representatives Committee on Legislative Franchises has cited SMNI anchors in contempt for refusing to disclose their sources and being evasive about their show's income.
