  That's not completely true. They actually also pulled a very big story to not endanger their financial data business in the country: - http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/03/bloomberg-editor-quits-over-china-story-185626.html http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/03/bloomberg-editor... http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/d121fd70-49f2-11e3-9a21-00144feabdc0.html?siteedition=intl#axzz2wtsffALG http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/d121fd70-49f2-11e3-9a21-00144... They lost a lot of credibility when covering on Chinese matters due to this incident.

    Well, to be fair, only CNN isn't blocked now. Everyone else just aren't harmonious enough.

    It could be that they were fed with rumors made by enemies as the journalists of foreign media are the first ones to know many things in China. e.g. BBC was among the first ones to know the fall of the Gang of Four (not to be mistaken for the GoF of design patterns).
