Should CNN apologize?
Some idiot ranting and raving on CNN spews a bunch of nonsense about China’s recent actions. China demands an apology. From CNN. I have to say, I’m not sold on this one. Does CNN have to endorse each and every view of its commentators? Sure, the guy says a load of silly populist clap-trap about China stealing U.S. jobs. China’s leaders are “thugs and goons” he says. Is there an argument that they’re thugs? Yes, there is an argument. A pretty convincing one, given recent events. Should he apologize? I say maybe. He’s painting with a pretty broad brush and perhaps should limit his criticism to the government, not the people. Should CNN apologize? I say no. Feel free to disagree with me, I’m open to that.
By the way, the best way to disagree with me? Boycott Carrefour.
