Renegade China soldiers 'killed' after Jilin emergency

Equation

Lieutenant General
I'm wondering how did the deserted soldiers got possession of the weapon. Weapons and rifles are usually kept safely in the armory with written permission from a superior. I'm guessing they're probably were conducting live fire shooting at the range and were planning to use that opportunity to make their get away after a confrontation or sort at the firing site.

To be fair, it was The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy that came up with such retarded reasoning.

Those muppets ain't known for being smart to begin with, and most media nowadays forgot th golden rule of "verify first, then publish" and instead just rush to print...

There is a very blurry line between media and gossips these days. Media publish unverified gossips while ironically the Gossip columns tries to pass off their stuff as 'news'.

Stories or gossip is more likely to be accepted without questioning if it fits the existing media narrative. All new information and news have to have a background from which they could be made sense of and they have to be framed within what the reader already knows. If you introduce facts that doesn't fit the narrative, it will not make sense to people and is less likely to be given emphasis in the press.

? I bet not many. It was a suicide bombing on US soil, but because the guy's name was Joel Henry Hinrichs III and not Abdul Muttalib, not many here probably knows about it.


The narrative around China works the same way. It heavily intertwined with the narrative about human rights. Any human rights story put within this framework immediately makes more sense, is more plausible and therefore is more printable. Whatever the journolistic community likes to say, they are not agents of objective reporting, they are teams built and hired to endorse a certain worldview. Propagandists for the 21st century.
