C-Span NOW! New Feature "Chinese News Service" replacing usual BBC World Report.. for now..
Be sure to tune in to C-Span China...maybe it's good...maybe it's Propaganda from "Conservative C-Span"...so far they are reporting on the "Bali Climate Change Conference."

Why is it that I have this "nagging suspicion" this is the NEW GE BUSH INITIATIVE to make China look GOOD before GE/NBC/MSNBC/CNBC prepare to broadcast the August'08 OLYMPICS!

Making China "LOOK GOOD" so the ratings go up for "Olympic Coverage" ...would that be good for GE/BUSH/CHENY? :shrug: Just asking.....

BTW...the Promo on this Report is "CHINA ACTS RESPONSIBLY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD" ...it's a TOTAL PROPAGANDA PIECE FOR CHINA brought to you by US CABLE AND C-SPAN....

I'm turning the shit off...I don't need my brain messed with any more by Bushie/Corporate Whore Media Spin...and China particpating. UGH...

6. Nervous Chines Reporter in "Updated Chairman Mao Clothing" reports
haltingly about "Bali Conference" then she cuts to Chinese Leaders claiming they are on the "forfront of Global Climate Change Leadership." Then a voice over of an American Reporter with just a hint of "Brit Accent" comes on and does more on how wonderful a leader China has been in promoting ACTION to deal with GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.. Switch back to nervous "Neo-Mao/Post Mao" reporter and the whole thing was a BUSH CRIME FAMILY Propaganda piece.

I was really hoping that our intrepid C-Span Viewers were watching this when I tuned in so they could give THEIR VIEWS of this horrible Propaganda Piece...but it's New Year's Day...and I know folks are off doing other things.

(and for your suffering)

Who knew that China was in the forefront of global climate change leadership? (unless they are changing it for the worse)

:hi:

3. u You gotta tune it in for the NEW BUSH/CHENY Propaganda Machine!


Blowback from China buying our treasuries to support our Housing BUBBLE now imploding. PAY BACK TIME!!! PAY BACK TIME!!!

Whole report is about how Great China is Doing to Combat Global Warming with Weird Anchor dressed in semi-Post Mao clothing...with a Brit-American Voice over going through the "Bali Talks" making it sound like CHINA IS LEADING THE WORLD ON GLOBAL WARMING!...

Total Bush/Cheney...Mary Matalin/Karen Hughes PROPAGANDA...Shocking and Outrageous that this is what C-Span has become with my Cable/Tax Dollars!

4. And Bill Clinton
How many times do we have to say, well Cheney pushed that before Bill Clinton did. NAFTA, China, welfare reform, military realignment...

5. This is too weird
I couldn't get over that newsreader lady, in her white suit with the charts behind her, pointing like a meteorologist (only stiffer) to the growth rates numbers ... but it's her VOICE that kills me! That's the most practiced, smooth and almost-perfect American-Brit accent I think I've ever heard from someone who is obviously Asian....

Yeah, very cool how China's responsible economic behavior is "offsetting" the disastrous stuff the Western world is doing -- particulary the U.S.

Sheesh..............
