Why, the Chinese might even have closed their bureau in the nation’s capital…

Whoops!  My bad!  Wrong human rights abusing dictatorship.  Where is Eason Jordan when we need this stuff explained?

You’re assuming that standing up to socialists is bad for ratings.  I can’t imagine a better ratings-draw than a full-scale war with a socialist regime.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Rob: You don’t get it; Woof was repeating the leftie talking points about China “owning our debt”; it’s just more nonsense from the economic know-nothings.

BTW, Rush reported it this morning as China accusing CNN of “information terrorism”.  I love it when the lefties go at each other!

CNN wants a share of the China market.
China just explained the rules.

Damn, WOOF, you’re good.

As I noted above, CNN is accustomed to being told what the rules are, and what they will, and will not report.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Part of the problem with CNN’s “apology” is that China considers their gov’t and people to be one and the same.  They really buy into socialism in that respect.  The government is “the people’s” government - insult one and you insult both.

So in that regard, CNN really did call a billion people “goons & thugs”.

If you need more explanation, watch the movie “Volunteers” with Tom Hanks.
