CNN was 100% sure it was all Chinese.
Yes, and not only that, they started to equate people leaving "China" and why do they want to leave "China" as in China must be bad if all these people would rather risk their lives to leave China!
And did we get apologies? You know the answer, problem is the average Joe had already seen the original assertion. And now that's what they believe!
What was great was the BBC later that evening ran with their darling Kirsty, and she asserts that, and I quote:
We wont get much info from China because is a secret states.... blah blah.
So all of a sudden, from 39 innocent deaths, that's got nothing to do with China, to all fingers point to the oppressive state, China! And it is all China's fault!
