SCMP: China expels three Wall Street Journal reporters over ‘racist’ commentary as media becomes latest battleground in rivalry with US
* Beijing kicks out journalists hours after US brands state media outlets ‘foreign mission’ but insists move was prompted by ‘sick man of Asia’ opinion piece
* US newspaper says two Americans and an Australian, all of whom had covered Xinjiang, have been given five days to leave China
The news media became the latest focus of the escalating tensions between the US and China on Wednesday after Beijing expelled three Wall Street Journal reporters over a commentary it deemed racist.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a news conference that China had raised repeated objections to the US newspaper over the opinion piece headlined “China is the real sick man of Asia” and felt “regret” that the Journal had not offered a public apology.
The decision to revoke the reporting credentials was announced hours after the US declared that five Chinese media outlets were “foreign missions”, saying they were effectively under government control. Geng said in the same briefing that Beijing “reserved the right to respond” to this move.

WNU Editor: I am not sure if this is working for Beijing. No one trusts the Chinese government, even more so among the Chinese themselves. Kicking out a few Wall Street Journal journalists is not going to change the situation.

I know many Chinese. They all feel we white people are racist towards them.
But..
Their own racism towards black people? DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, YOU RACIST!
Their own racism towards other Asians? DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, YOU RACIST!
RACISM ONLY EXISTS IF YOU ARE WHITE AND DOING IT, NOT IF YOU ARE RECEIVING IT, YOU RACIST!!!!

Coronavirus: Fact check on Trump's Covid-19 address to nation, Pence
After Trump appoints Pence to oversee coronavirus response, initial reports don’t include that he enabled HIV outbreak in Indiana
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former health policy adviser in the Obama administration, said late Wednesday that he found President Trump's remarks during a news conference on his administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak a "little incoherent."
Speaking on MSNBC's "Hardball," Emanuel, now a special adviser to the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), said that Trump's comments indicated how little the president knew about public health.
He also stressed that health officials still do not know vital information about the virus, which first appeared in China and has since infected more than 80,000 people in more than three dozen countries. The U.S. has reported 60 confirmed cases of the virus.
And Fred posted 8:03, 8:11 & 8:45.
Here is a break down of the 60 cases in the Us for Fred.
"U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says that there's only been one new case of coronavirus or COVID-19 in the U.S. in the last two weeks.
Here's Azar's breakdown of the cases:
- 15 cases of COVID-19 that have been detected in the U.S.
- 1 new case in the last two weeks
- 3 cases among Americans repatriated from Wuhan
- 42 among Americans who have been stuck on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan"
When WaPo, NYT, & CNN are done leading him by the nose, then is the time to lead him by the nose to a new place, the truth.
Fun Fact: Do you think Fred know the relative size of 45 cases to 60 cases?
Trump has reprogrammed money to fight the opioid epidemic in the US. Trained seals think this is bad. The opioid epidemic has killed thousands of Americans. The corona virus has not killed one.
The opioid epidemic has hit Bernie's backyard (Burlington, Vermont) really hard (Just a short drive from Grasshopper's hovel.). What has Bernie done about it? I've read that he has not sponsored 1 piece of legislation that got passed. But it is all good. He got what he wanted. He stole a 6 figure salary.
His constituents got Berned!
The opioid epidemic is killing people. Liberals do not care, since it is killing white people. Now, it is also hitting black people hard too, so liberals might care.
They have to weigh the political advantage 1st, before the can decide if they care or not.
Why are liberals such shits?

State programmers could not have written a program to collect data from country health department on their own without an extra plus up?
We're talking about 4th rate or lower programmers or management.
I suppose they would need several million dollars to track West Nile or similar mosquito borne diseases form data derived form the Mosquito Districts or health counties as well.
State government waste a lot of resources. They will stop good projects being undertaken by good programmers, where the projects are 2/3 rds done, just because a new guy got elected and he can't claim it as his own. Does not matter the party. Could be the same party. I've seen it.

Who got canceled? A liberal.
Some people get canceled for what they have done and some get canceled, because they are not leftists.
Yes, blind squirrel has found a nut.
"Halperin has been “canceled” since October 2017, when 14 women accused the Game Change coauthor of unwanted sexual advances and groping during and after his tenure as the political director of ABC News from 1997 to 2007"
Is groping a woman worse than murdering her? I think Halperin has a point. I don;t like him much, but he has a point.
groping > murder ?
Let's be clear. Groping is not good. But is it worse than murder?
What is an "unwanted sexual advances" ? Is there definition?
Is asking someone one out an "unwanted sexual advance" ?
Who is getting canceled?
- Moonves
- Matt Lauer
- Mark Halperin
- Weinstein
- Senator Franken (But only because there was photographic proof and tempers were high at the time)
All the the people canceled in that list are liberal media or Hollywood types.
Liberal political Bigwigs do not get fired.
Senator Hillary Clinton
President Bill Clinton
Senator Ted Kennedy
Senator Robert “Bob” Menendez
Senator Chris Dodd

Obama's Ebola Czar was a lawyer.
He was Al Gore's Chief of Staff.
All we get from parrot head were "6 news stories" that xer found that xer thought proved something.
Xer did not even format them well. Xer just threw them up on the wall to see if they would stick.
