CNN...could you be more outrageous?
China has demanded an apology from the host of Wolf Blitzer for outlandish comments made on the show April 9, 2008. Referring to the Chinese government as goons and thugs and calling products made in China junk! What a generalizing statement. However, when Mr. Cafferty made these comments, he did not mention that he was referring to the Chinese government and not the Chinese people. China has a right to be outraged, especially since we owe them hundreds of billions of dollars. Those "thugs and goons" haven't been to horrible or otherwise, they would do something about us owing them money. "Thugs and goons" generally collect what's owed to them as soon as possible, not caring what the person who owes the money has to do to get the funds. "Thugs and goons"... I think not. More like American government being the "thug" trying to bully everyone into doing what we want (Iraq), but we soon learned that there were bigger "goons and thugs" out there besides us, not including China! The so called apology given by CNN was ridiculous. "We're sorry if anyone interpreted the comment to be offensive towards them." In other words, we're not sorry for the comment, we feel strongly about the position, and if you don't like it, well I'm sorry that you don't fit in. What a company!
