The principles of journalism, China-style:

It sickens me, sometimes, this perversion of journalism. I was, for a time, quite enamored of the Woodward and Bernstein story, and while it comes as no surprise, I'm still saddened by the extent of state control of the media in China. It goes beyond censorship; this is basically mind-control. The government and the media getting this chummy is never a good thing.
There is also a certain (most likely intentional) irony, methinks, that this article was published on this date.
