I read this ‘article’. There are zero references towards the so called ‘China Bashing’. If it is so rampant, how hard can it be to just link to a few mainstream offenders? It alludes towards a deliberate bashing, once again without any links or merit. I am fully aware that news is hardly unbiased but come on, this is ridiculous.
Have you been following media recently or have you been living under a rock?
I have been following media intensively. I am not saying that news about China is unbiased in the western media. I am calling out the lack of any sources in this weak ‘article’
As far as news outlets go, The Diplomat is rather well-regarded
As an opinion piece, sources are usually implicit (since opinion pieces use the reader's own knowledge of current events as the context)
The article points to this article for more context: https://hbr.org/2021/05/what-the-west-gets-wrong-about-china
1 I don’t know this outlet, nor am inclined to use perceived pedigree to determine the quality of news. I’d like to see sources, not news dresses as opinions. 2 Opinion pieces that try to be credible need sources or else I will disregard them as petty trolling. The title makes a bold claim, I want sources backing up that claim. 3 that ‘source’ is also an opinion peace without any sources.
Just show me where mainstream media is deliberately bashing China. If it’s that rampant it can’t be that hard right?
Again, have you been living under a rock for the past few years? You can even look at the top posts of this community.
I’m not the one making bald claims. The onus is on the one with the claims. Just show me some sources!
Again, 🤦♀️
The evidence is right in front of you, yet you refuse to see it
Then link the supposed data points backing up this claim.
You’ve refused to do so within this thread, only using “You don’t know!” as a reply.
Link the supposed data or GTFO. That’s what every person has stated and you’ve refused to comply.
Everyone says they have data that disproves it
And nobody's provided any because they can't find it
No one here says they have data that disproves it though?
