ESWN has a terrific translation of a local commentary on the media reports from the violence south of here.
The fact is that the Xinhua report appeared on December 10. Nanfang Daily could have just reproduced it, but they wrote their own story. It is only too easy to write another old-style report, and it would have pleased the bosses. The fact was that they didn't. They wrote something different. The discrepancies are small, but telling.
Indeed. Read the whole thing and you be the judge. We could be on the cusp of the media testing the boundries as they did in 1989 (only to be crushed and silenced). We'll have to wait and see...
And this from Cox & Forkum...
