I read posts on some bulletin boards discussing Chinese stocks from time
to time and many/most of the posters are Chinese citizens. There has
been quite a bit of talk since the capture of Sadam.

Below are some quotes from these folks:

Only the U.S can say which groups are terrorists and which group are not

And what's so great about this is that they are free to voice their
opinions about our country and its actions. I doubt they'd be so
candid about their own country (assuming they are living there).

Sadly, in a couple of years, most college students won't have any
idea what Tianemen means...

equally interesting is to listen to shortwave radio news broadcasts
from around the world. Radio Moscow, Radio China (or whatever they
call themselves) always
provide an interesting alternative view of major world events.

us news reports(major event) + other news reports(major event) +
a completely different perspective than by listening to either alone

Just hearing the late night BBC is amazing, or even the CBC. It makes you
aware of how much self censorship our US media do. And if you hear about
something on FOX, then track down the same story in the international
sources, or do even a minimum of fact checking, you quickly learn that that
feed is 90% wingnut ideology and 10% news.

What have things come to when we let an old Australian Fascist like Murdock
(FOX etc), and a malignant Fascist like the Reverend Moon (Wash. Times, UPI
news service, Standard, etc.) and domestic Hitlerite worshipers like that
Coors Klan, as well as foreign corporations control our domestic media and
meddle in our elections?

Oh, it ain't all that bad. As benighted as we obviously are (for so we have
been told, ainna?) we, at least here in ROFF, are truly blessed in that we
have at our disposal the one true source of true news and truth, free of
bias and subjectivity, and ever ready to pummel anyone who will sit still
long enough with the shining light of the true Gospel. And we don't even
have to ask.

and don't think we don't appreciate it.

From the mouths of babes???

or if you prefer a more direct response - a pompous ass accusing someone
else of pomposity is pretty laughable.

Nothing
