    Fuck Morning Star

    You mean this Morning Star? The one that says:

    OWNED BY OUR READERS We're a reader-owned co-operative, which means you can become part of the paper too by buying shares in the People’s Press Printing Society.

    Comrade, I think you’re thinking of South China Morning Post.

    (Which, for the record, is a land of contrasts. It’s what the New York Times would be if it didn’t have the rampant Sinophobia, but kept its bourgeois allegiance.)

    But yes, please read more mainland media. Another good one is Qiushi, the CPC’s theoretical journal.

        Comes with being british. I can't find any Chinese paper named Morning Star, I feel like OP was in fact referring to SCMP

      The Morning Star are also very iffy with fact checking. I remember a time when they printed some very damning quotes about the US’s attitude to Hiroshima. I got all excited, but when I tried to track them down it only lead back to a book by a crazy nazi conspiracy theorist who was a broken clock striking right. He hadn’t sourced anything either.

      I emailed them about it and they did take it down, but they never replied to me, nor did they issue a statement about it.
