Sure we can look into Hong Kong and Taiwan's media. But before that,
are you taking back your assertion that the US media, at its worst, is
light years ahead of  CCTV and the China Daily?

Concerning Taiwan media, a certain poster had posted many posts
criticized the Taiwan media on various issues right on this forum
almost on a daily basis. He seems to consdier the Taiwan media the
worst of all. Do you agree with him? If not, care to tell why he was
wrong from your point of view?
