We were talking about the war in my class; (btw, 14 more pro-American's added to the list after I got done with them
)
One of them said, and let me quote her, her English is poor, but what she meant was absolutely clear.
"I like to watch the news a lot. I watch American news, and English news [She means British]. I don't like CNN... They are ... how do you say that? Biased. Yes. Biased. They do not report the news, they only say what the deskman [anchors] think. That is not called news. That is called your own thinking.. [Your opinions]. So I like BBC better."
Words of wisdom! It seems that the CNN bias is soooo obvious that people here in Taiwan don't want to watch it. They wondered why the media is so anti-war, when they feel that they should be trying to shine the war in a good light, instead of a bad one.
My girlfriend's friend, who is a journalism major said "I don't know much about the war, but I know about journalism, that is my major; what CNN shows about the war is not journalism."
It's one thing when I, or THR badmouths the biasness of CNN, but when Taiwanese students are doing it... It tells me that their version of "impartial" is not fooling anybody.
