wrote: Say what you like sport, I'm repeating what was broadcast on CNN. cheers....Jeff I was going to quote an authoritative source (a close friend in acedemia and industry) on how mainstream US media mangles the news and led the country into its current disaster and the ensuing lack of viable alternatives to get the country out of the quagmire. But I am sure he will not appreciate my identifying him as would be necessary to give credence to him as the source. My reply was yes that's how the game is being played, the US establishment demonizing China regardless of the evidence and the facts. The only effective response is to for China to continue doing what it believes is right for herself and let the results speak for themselves. The results have been consistent and darm good for the past 60 years. Proof-can you cite any accusation that the US made over the past 60 years that stuck? That you are still rehashing the same stuff doesn't count since you haven't scored a goal yet. For a good inside view of the US mainstream media and how they have fallen do read the articles in Tom Dispatch http://www.tomdispatch.com/ [Tomdispatch.com is for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our post-9/11 world and a clear sense of how our imperial globe actually works. Read more about the site's founder and editor Tom Engelhardt and his guest authors. ] There are lots of other authoritative US articles that bemoan the current state of the US Fourth Estate. But it is something you will have to be interested enough yourself to read them up and notice the demise of objectivity and accuracy in US reporting. CNN? Pshaw. Its going down the drain in the direction of FOX News. Its all about advertising revenues and not offending those who pay the bills, objectivity be damned. |

Didn't you just read my post in order to respond? That's really too bad. You let your judgement be predeterimned by others and then jump into the fray based on inadequate and biased knowledge. That's what makes cannon fodder cannon fodder. I agree with your short cut regarding posts to read. My method is to 1. Is the subject header of interest to me? 2. How many responses are there to the post? 3. Pick a responder known to be a reasonably objective one and see what he says. 4. If his comments are interesting (I learnt something) I read the original post to see where everything is coming from. 5. I read a few more posts and get a feel of the general mood. 6. Go from there. Another of my practices is when I come across an interesting article I post it in full and with the URL and date. I don't make any comments, meaning I agree with the main body of the writer's arguments. Most of the articles will be written by Western writers for that skips a lot of racial prejudice that have nothing to do with the importance of the subject. I do this is because a majority of you guys don't read. |

The thought just crossed my mind. Its not about greed chasing the almighty (ads) dollar. It is about desperation. The Internet is indeed an instrument that freed mankind from the bonds of many old conventions. People get their information from the Internet these days - very current, free, uncensored, in any color or form, etc. though often lacking in depth. The unintended consequence is nobody reads newspapers anymore. Print media is dying. So is broadcast news. These are very high cost establishments chasing ever decreasing advertising dollars. Their product has to be as uncontroversial as possible (aka bland and unoffensive). The media has to pander to popular prejudices when that arises (more advert income or die)rather than its traditional role to lead and form public opinion. This has changed your landscape more than you realize - how come with more than 60 per cent of the people disapproving where the US is heading you still can't change direction?? It has also changed the rest of the world. The white guys aren't that formidable. What they can do (development in a modern world)we also can. |

They were holding up a piece of concrete, supposedly reinforced. What the builder had used for reinforcement was a joke. Instead of rebar, it looked like he had used that very light steel-mesh material (approx. 6"x6" square) that we use to support a concrete slab in a garage floor that is laid over 6" of compacted gravel. Instead of using rebar, which you or I wouldn't be able to bend with our bare hands, he used material a four year old could twist out of shape. Don't tell me what I saw fool, I'll tell you. cheers....Jeff |

Noone is saying buildings won't fall with a strong earth quake. What people are pointing out, is a large percentage of the demolished buildings were school's, seemingly built to shoddy standards. cheers.....Jeff |

No you didn't You did read this thread. Fix your comprehension problem's fool. I stated above I keep track of your posting's and I told you why. Okay. I normally don't keep track of who SMN personalities are, ..But I'll make a exception for you and check if you (Jeff) do still respond to my posts. Occasionally I respond, that's all. I'm not part of a tag-team, fool. As often as not someone else is tearing a strip of your hide, so there is no need for me to do anything other than read and laugh. I'll assume that you read at least ten of my post before you jump in to respond to one. Alway's remember 'assume', makes an ass of u and me. If your post comes through I read it. Not for it's intrinsic value, merely to keep track of the thought patterns of a Chinese communist shill. No more, no less. SMN is the only newsgroup where people say the'll killfile me. Many probably have. They aren't interested in a Chinese communist shill. I have a vested interest, you are _in_ my country ! If I get paid a buck (even a buck doesn't have the impact of a penny from not that long ago) I'd soon have enough to go for a celebratory steak dinner. Amassing enough penny enemies to become the metaphoric millionaire is possible only in China. Aw heck. I pay myself a buck per killfile mention anyway. I am a noodles restaurant guy with only an occasional yen for a steak dinner. The estimated timing for one per filling a killfile quota sounds about right. Pay yourself whatever you like, hell, give yourself a raise, who cares? cheers....Jeff |
