media - After the attac of Lu Banglie 2

Lu Banglie is alive and well, not very well, but alive, contrary to the rather dramatic description in The Guardian's report. And critical voices are getting up.
If that part of the report is not true, Benjamin claimed he worked as a medic, the question is what more might not be what it seems. I have talked to some ill-informed and rather suspicious Chinese minds who are very sure Mr. Lu has even set up the whole show to promote his own case. Again: there is nothing to support this theory, but when things fall apart all theories seem to be worth considering.
ESWN quotes again a very critical Anti, who repeats some of the article and says:

These are lies. No matter whether the 25-year-old Joffe-Walt was fantasizing out of fear or because his imagination was running wild, he is a liar as far as reporters are concerned. It is a blight on The Guardian to have such a correspondent in China. If The Guardian does not dismiss such a correspondent and if The Guardian does not apologize and examine itself, then we can publicly say that insofar as China reporting goes, The Guardian is untrustworthy. Anytime that they report again, we will think back how this inflammatory "first-person eyewitness" account by Joffe-Walt deviated from the facts.Therefore, I ask The Guardian to dismiss this liar for the honor of the media professionals. I ask my colleagues to support my proposal.

And:

The Guardian's error obviously has severely affected the Taishi village case and even other rights cases. Whenever a reader hears about another rights activist being beaten, they will automatically think about Joffe-Walt's fantasy. Lies cannot promote fairness; they can only impede fairness. I am a democrat and I support the democratic movement in China. But I will express my anger in a professional manner against any exaggerated or fabricated reporting of the pursuit of democracy. I will not permit a crazy reporter, who once was a Baghdad human shield, to destroy the common ideals of media workers in China."

Very serious matters indeed.
