In the recent earthquake in China...
... CNN chose to report on the inferior quality of the building materials and techniques.
BBC reported that the "one child policy" made the sufferings more intolerable.
Last night, Bloomberg commented that it was strange that China allowed their basketball player (presumably Yao Ming) to request donations from the American public.
The earthquake involved an area the size of South Korea or bigger than Portugal. About 32,000 people are confirmed dead, 220,000 injured and millions more are homeless.
China is a developing country. In outlying rural areas, people still live barely above the poverty line. Do we expect the buildings to be like those in Osaka?
The pride of American engineering, the World Trade Centre was brought down by two airplanes. The force of the earthquake in China is equivalent to hundreds of nuclear bombs. 146 aftershocks were reported so far.
Why report on the inferior quality of material and shoddy workmanship when thousands are still buried under the debris? What's so strange about China allowing their basketball player to request for donations? Didn't America accept help and donations after 9/11 and Katrina? Why talk about the "one child policy" when health, security, environment, transportation, epidemic prevention, restoration and rebuilding and millions of other problems are waiting to be solved? Is this "responsible and balanced" reporting?
