Wait a minute, Simon. I could be wrong, but from what I understand from Will and Myrick, Chinese journalists don't have any ethics. Am I wrong?

Err, I wouldn't say that at all - though Will and I do have opinions about the "transportation claim." There is a lot of shoddy and pay-for-good-press journalism here, but I've met some pretty solid Chinese reporters as well. On the pay for coverage stuff, judging from a weekend conversation, that may be the case at some expat- oriented and staffed magazines as well.

Let's not just single out Chinese journos, either. Recent American media history has given us plenty of examples of dubious journalistic ethics in the home of the free and land of the brave.

Sorry Myrick, didn't mean to shove those words in your mouth.

Simon, I'm not a big fan of the media in the US either.
