Strange Goings on with CNNGo on Sinan Lu
Posted: January 23rd, 2011 | No Comments »A slightly strange article on the history of Sinan Road (formerly Rue Massenet) on CNNGo’s Shanghai site. Sort of a list of rather odd bullet points and one solitary photo. I’m a little worried about CNNGo and what’s happening over there. Phrases like the following are a bit of a mouthful and, I assume the editors realise, are politically massively loaded:
“After Liberation, the rightists and the foreigners ran away or were given the boot.”
Fine if you’re a Maoist or some sort of unreconstructed communist – a little strange in the mouth of CNN, all that Liberation and those Rightists!!!!??? Are CNN now Jiefang types fearing Capitalist Roaders and chasing foeign capitalists out of town?
Can a rogue sleeper from Xinhua’s 1967 ‘infiltrate the western media’ team have infiltrated the editorial department at the once harmless CNNGo?? I think we should be told…
All most odd
