Unfortunately, that's the cost of courting a massive market backed by an authoritarian regime. Personally, I don't agree with it, but Capitalism isn't inherently moral. China has such a massive trade presence globally that companies are willing to abandon domestic values to make them happy. The media certainly aren't the only party guilty of this (tech & military companies selling surveillance technology, etc.) It's easy to blame everything on the media because they market themselves as the purveyors of transparency and democracy in our society. But they're just businesses too, and businesses sacrifice ethics all the time to stay alive. As Ice-T once said: "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
