Junk Talk
By Paul Midler | May 15, 2008
Following the week’s earthquake, those affected by the tragedy are expressing anger over the poor quality of construction in their province. From the Associated Press:
“This building is just a piece of junk,” one newly homeless resident of Dujiangyan yelled Wednesday, her body quivering with rage. Her family salvaged clothing and mementos from their wrecked apartment, built when their older home was razed 10 years ago.
Meanwhile, CNN has caved into pressure on the Jack Cafferty episode (the one where he claimed Chinese products were junk). Journalists in the West apparently cannot say about China what it would say about itself.
