Since 2008, CNN's coverage of events in Tibet has earned the network a special place in the spleen of Chinese nationalism. Though I myself can hardly claim to be well-informed about the issue, I still can't help being automatically suspicious of any accusations of "bias" on the part of CNN, especially coming from angry Chinese netizens (like the kind you can see translated comments from on ChinaSMACK (which must have been named because the comments they translate make you smack your forehead with your palm and go "China...")).
But this video just made me lose a little faith in the Cable News Network.
First, is this really news? I thought everyone knew that Cantonese people ate dogs and cats. Second, I don't like this reporter's attitude. She didn't give us any reason to believe that Chinese food dogs and cats are treated any worse than livestock in the US, so why does she have to make Mr. Wang over here look like a pederast for chopping up a puppy? "This is kind of hard to watch..." Your face is hard to watch, Emily Chang!
Who's up for dog noodle soup?
