Wahaha,
The “FREE Media” is not perfect, no one is denying that.
But you have to admit it is a far better alternative than the current state of the press in China.

JD,

New york post ? haha, where was NY daily, where was NYT, where was WSJ ?

Where was the following report in NY Post ? NY post was for M bloomberg, hence using this to attack Bill thompson. why didnt they investigate further ?

I guess billions of dollars is too small an amount to waste time.

Was it Xinhua’s intrepid muckracking that “exposed” the information about Bill Thompson, Wahaha? Or are you suggesting that the Village Voice and the New York Post, which investigated the story, do not belong to the “FREE media”?

Here is what I am curious about FREE media :

In Mumbai, India, a billionaire built a 2 billion dollar home in a city that had millions of people living in slums, no FREE media (and no politicians) came out.

In Taiwan, Chen ShuiBian took in tens of millions of dollars. Common sense tells you that those who bribed Chen benefitted ten times more. but no FREE media (and no politicians) went after those riches.

In New york, during the campaign for Mayor, Bill Thompson was exposed having given billions of dollars of contracts to those who had donated money for him. Strange enough, no FREE media has done any investigation, but the FREE media was so enthusiastic in eliot spitzer’s case ( in case you dont know, eliot spitzer was the most hated person on wall street)

Strange ? I guess that bashing government puts media on morally high grount, doesnt it ?

So we did. Thanks! For some reason I have a weird dyslexia when it comes to Chinese names and place names. This one is particularly shameful though, because I’ve stayed in Zhengzhou before.
