media - On editorial policies

I can be a rather nasty person. I felt even a bit nasty when I posted a comment this evening at the site of Living in China. After a case of arbitrary censorship some naughty websites with Asian women who invested very little in clothing did not show up in their aggregator, where the whole happy community of English bloggers gathers. That caused an uproar, but seemed to have waved over. The ladies are back.
Today an 'assistant editor of the month' posts a rather murky and unhelpful piece on the blocking of the weblogs in China, "from a Chinese perspective". Nothing wrong there, since both quality and content depends on the individual bloggers. Or not? So I wondered in a comment who the assistant editor was assisting and where the editorial policies of the month were. Are anonymous postings alright? Why.
I do forecast an interesting discussion for a small audience.
