The :citations-needed: boys seem like good kids, but listening to them, they haven't completely eliminated their :LIB: :brainworms: .

One manifestation of this is that they seem to be deliberately avoiding a China episode, on the eve of a new cold war and in the middle of a propaganda storm. It appears that Adam has written many articles debunking anti-China stuff, so it doesn't look like it's bias. Please offer your speculation on why there's no episode of CN about it in the comments.

Anyone got any thoughts?

    Avoiding the topic altogether is not as bad an idea as you may think; it avoids adding any fuel to the fire of potential infighting disputes. Removing it entirely from the discussion means that it doesn't even indirectly fan the flames of war. I've not got a problem with that.

      IDK I really don't buy that as a good reason to not call out American media's bias against China.

      If this is their thinking that's extremely cowardly on their part. They have a platform from which they could make it more difficult for the US government and media to stoke tension with China and not using it is a failure.
