sensationalizing

I just "love" the n3w$ wR!ter$ sens @ tionalize Ch!n@ new $. The N Y T!m E articl E said " C h! n @ cR@c k$ d0 Wn 0N $0c!al MedI@ " . There are a lot in the background F@CTs were not given to readers. Now when someone reads this headline, he will immediately creates a conclusion how this country is. Granted, there are sen$0rsh!p. However, I like to see more fact-based reporting rather than sensation@l report -- !ng.

If a person reads how I have written above, he would immediately say "see, this guy is writing this way to stop being blocked." Not true in this instant. I was trying to avoid being $c@nned by G00 gLe. I don't want it.

Back to the topic I am suppose to write, the sens@ti0n@lize new$ $t0ry. The oldest country has a huge population. There are lots of people out there wanting to make a quick buck with no social moral standard. That is from the 30 years of no religious belief system. The only two religions here are: $ and "luxury brands". These two factors combined with still a "follow-my-lead" teaching system, any little mis-message will blow up into major $c0cial unRe$T. Look at last year's Jap@n post-earthquake nuCL e@r di$saster. Someone had spread on the web that sea salt could help in warding off nuclear fallout. Within hours, all salt stockpile in my city of 18 M were gone!!!! That's just one example.

Now with the easy flow of SMS and microbl0gging these days here, there are bound to be "learned" restrictions happening. That's just a fact. This country is moving forward with a mind full of frameworks but not actual rules. The rules are being made as things happen so to speak.

I don't remember seeing the writer of the article that spawned me to write this blog post saying the reason for the "cr@ck d0 wn". The FACT was that six people were caught spreading rumors from various websites and blogging posts saying " Armies were entering the capital city." Now that was a very serious allegation without facts. I am sure, if you were the head of state you would want to stop this Rum0R right?

And seriously, asking some experts based in H kg to comment about m0therL@nd? Right… you get lots of b!@$ opinions and explanations. That was just my own sincere comment ;-)
