Nick Kristof keeps on getting it wrong
The famous New York Times China expert Nick Kristof did get most of his career rather mixed reviews, also in the time he was covering China. US weblogs now have smelled blood as they go after mainstream media that keep on getting it wrong. Kristof is one of their major targets.
In December in wrote in one of my previous weblogs about Kristof. He got blasted for minimizing the Nanjing massacre (Dec. 31). Today his writing about sex slavery has triggered off another row among webbloggers. Mainstream media are being accused of rather following their own agenda in stead of telling their audiences what is really going on. Some of the weblogs are trying to correct that.
Unfortunately, most of the weblogs are hosted on blospot, blocked by the censor in China. In that way China stops information they would actually help her in showing that the way countries like China are being covered could use some improvement. But that argument not change the attitude: originally the internet filters also stopped information on Falung Gong given by the Chinese embassy in the US.
