A reporter in China tweets to people who choose to follow a reporter in China and you accuse her of being disingenuous for failing to accommodate it being posted on an international website, out of context.
That's quite self-centred.
- qxnqd 7y agoShe was looking for outrage, it's not like she's got the high moral ground here.
- baot 7y agoThat's an extraordinary level of understanding of someone's motivations and morality that I would characterise as 'baseless'.
- mc32 7y agoObviously she was looking to engage locals by writing in English (which has very low penetration) on a platform that’s normally inaccessible to locals... I think context is owed the reader.
- baot 7y agoWell firstly, you as a reader did actually know the context. That's why you could tell everyone else. Secondly, giving that context requires the writer to know that it's not normal. If it's not normal. Yet you've failed to give that context. Your comment could just as easily be linked to in a forum mainly used by Hong Kongers or Singaporeans. Obviously, you have no reason to accommodate them because you shouldn't expect them to be your audience.
