发帖数: 18403 | 1 I learned a lot more about the media in a month than ever before, thanks to
Kimmel. The more I learned, the less impressed I am.
First thing I learned: 1) JK publicly used a verbal equivalent of "when did
you stop abusing your wife?" question to instigate a young child to
outrageous genocidal speech. By scapegoating the China's relatively small
debt for the US government shutdown, Kimmel essentially drew a target on the
Chinese, and invited the kids to shoot at them. 2) Then he chuckled and
continued the skit in the same cavalier fashion. 3) Then he or his team
actively selected this skit for airing. 4) Then he apologized for it
repeatedly as a joke, variously blaming it on a young kid and blaming the
Chinese for lack of humor. In other words, JK was heavily involved in the
fracas and should be held responsible from the beginning to the end.
Second thing I learned: Media seemed to completely miss the racism
ingrained in JK's skit. The people who were trained as reporters and to
ask unbiased questions, they missed the biased question by Kimmel 1). Is
it
incompetence or is it willful bias? I am not sure which one is worse.
Third thing I learned: the tactics with which media manipulate and bully
ordinary people. When Professor Li Chunyan was interviewed on CNN by an
entire team of "hosts", it looked more like a siege than an interview. They
fired questions on her, cut her off, emphasized JK's repeated apologies (
unacceptable though they were). Prof. Li remained calm under fire and made
us proud. But no doubt that any one less skilled/gifted would be bullied
on air and be selectively ignored, misquoted and misrepresented off the air.
And this disgraceful conduct, passes off as journalism.
So the credibility of media in my mind is down to 1 or 2 out of 10.
Everything they report, on things I know nothing about, I now have to do a
double-take. What really happened to the supposedly fair and balanced
coverage? The traditional media/journalism are being obsoleted by the new
media. I will not shed tears for their demise.
I also learned something else. The "better" media this time were the
business oriented conservative publications like bloomberg and
businessinsider and some local
ABC competitors. Out of the advertisers on ABC, BMW and several banking
giants appeared most responsive to our concerns. Whereas Sears appears not
to care.
We need to learn where to focus our energy and where to make alliances.
BMW and banking giants are naturally more concerned for their international
brand, while Sears naturally doesn't care. We need to focus our energy on
our allies and potential allies, and not scatter our shots on companies who
have no common interest with us.
We also need to learn how to create reusable and renewable connections/
organizations so that, we would be better positioned for the future. Please
come over and help us sign up to anything you are passionate about
and recruit a few more people:

systematically bashed China for Olympics and ignored the overwhelming
support from Chinese community in USA.
good that they keep educating younger generations like you.
to be fair. CNN is much better than other media this time. CNN was boycotted
in 2008 and learnt something.
