Foreign journalists based in China write critical stories about China on a regular basis. It's a bit bizarre to me why you're calling Buzzfeed a "click-bate [sic]" rag when we're talking about a journalist who had just published an investigative story about the Chinese police state involving Uyghurs.
- InitialLastName 8y agoI can understand calling Buzzfeed clickbait; "XX Best ways to N: number 6 will blow your mind" used to be their bread and butter. Even now, the #2 story on their website is "29 things that'll genuinely make people say 'OMG I love your outfit'". It took me a long time after their move towards occasionally funding "real" journalism before I was willing to even click a link to their URL.
- TimothyBJacobs 8y agoBuzzfeed clickbait is not the same as Buzzfeed News.
- InitialLastName 8y agoSure, but even looking at the two sites now I'm not sure I can see much difference in content quality.
- oathbreaker 8y ago> Foreign journalists based in China write critical stories about China on a regular basis. So what ? They are not entitled to a Chinese visa.
- danso 8y agoThe argument here is not one of entitlement.
