China bars BBC World News over false reports
www.globaltimes.cn
BBC World News has been barred from airing in China, the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) announced, saying some BBC's reports on China infringed the principles of truthfulness and impartiality in journalism.

Chinese observers said the BBC has turned into "a rumor mill" that deliberately throws mud at China, and the decision to suspend its broadcast sends a clear message that China doesn't accept fake news.

    i agree with you over op, but i can't help but have a little sympathy for the CBC over here across the pond. their print journalism sucks but their radio content is extensive and thoughtful and i'd be real sad to see it privatized.

    disclaimer: obviously fuck any big media org when it comes to foreign policy

      :100-com: I'd take any public broadcaster over any private org. Just know where the conflict is.

        This. A public broadcaster is still better than a private broadcaster, even if it's a bad public broadcaster. But state media can be either overtly (calling for pogroms against redheads) or covertly (pushing soft anti-redhead liberalism) trash.
