Chinese Journalists
There was an article that discusses the corruption in journalism in China. I think that this article is overlooking a bigger picture. The reporter, whether he was one or not, was killed. If he was just a swindler that doesnt make it any better for the case of killing him. First of all, its an illegal mine. The mine shouldnt be illegal, then they wouldnt have to pay people off to not print articles about them. I'm not saying that the man had a right to swindle them because they were doing something illegal. I dont believe two wrongs make a right. But I certainly dont believe that three wrongs make a right either. I understand that corruption is a little more tolerated in China, but there needs to be a place to draw a line. And its hard to get the truth out of anybody over this incident to. One guy was reported saying they were trying to get money out of the people, then he was reported saying that he never said that. They need to get some regulation either over the corruption or for the journalists to keep them safe. If the journalists were regulated then maybe people would realize that they are there on business and not beat them up.
