New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is an unabashed fanboy of the Chinese government and their hi-speed trains. He writes column after column extolling the genius of the first and the efficiency of the latter.
Should the liberal lunatic stumble upon IHateTheMedia.com, we would suggest that he skip this story.
The Telegraph UK has the details:
Chinese officials have instructed the media not to sensationalise the accident, and fresh instructions sent to reporters yesterday said: “Do not report the accident too frequently. Report moving stories about people donating blood or taxi drivers not taking fares from victims. Do not investigate the cause of the accident.”
The instructions added: “The name of the Wenzhou accident will be ‘The 23 July Wenzhou Line Railway Accident’. From now on, use the headline: ‘Great Love in the Face of Great Tragedy’. On television, provide the relevant information, but be careful of the music used.”
Great idea. From now on we will not use the term “debt ceiling fiasco.” Instead we will call it “Great Love in the Face of Great Stupidity.”
