The western media like BBC, CNN or Fox are often extensions of their own governments. They reflect the anxiety of the West concerning China's rapid rise. Whether reporting on what China is doing in Africa, the last snowstorm or the recent riots in Tibet, the agenda is the same - question China's motives, undermine the effectiveness of what it is doing and, if possible, slow down its rise and development. They do all these while masquerading under the guise of "objective" reporting and promoting so-called democracy. The truth of the matter is that they are envious and often betray a latent racism that only certain countries and people are allowed at the top of the heap. I believe that the world will move faster into a more equitable state when media the likes of BBC, CNN and Fox are properly swept into the garbage of history.
