Jack Cafferty of CNN (yeah, the File guy) made a few comments on air regarding China a few days ago and the Chinese aren't too happy about it. They have requested an apology and said one letter from CNN was not enough.



Your thoughts?

    "Cafferty used the microphone in his hands to slander China and the Chinese people (and) seriously violated professional ethics of journalism and human conscience," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday at a news conference, according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.





    Like the Chinese government would know anything about "professional ethics of journalism and human conscience".

    Like China can do something about it. What are they going to do, start a war with their billion people that don't have cars?

    He was having a go at the Chinese *government*, not the Chinese people. I agree with him.

    CNN is completely spineless. They'll sell integrity for "access". They did this in Cuba and pre-Bush2 Iraq.
