Insidious Lies of the Western Press24/11/2018 The following is the BBC News title for a major election news report from Taiwan:
Taiwan voters reject same-sex marriage in referendum On Saturday Nov. 24, Taiwan held a mid-term election of great political significance. The outcome was an earthquake that registered at least 8 on the Richter scale. The result was such a crushing defeat for the Independence-minded DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) currently in control of all major branches of the ROC (Republic of China) government that the president Tsai Ing-wen immediately resigned her role as the party leader of the DPP. If you call the American mid-term a blue wave, the Taiwan mid-term is a blue tsunami (the DPP is represented by green and its opponent KMT by blue). The voters have had enough of DPP after only two years of unopposed green rule, and are voting for KMT and closer relations with mainland China. Even the politically significant deep green city of Kaohsiung, the base of DPP political power, flipped by a wide margin. While this article does report on the election, you can never tell from the title. I was searching for Taiwan election results and I did not think this was it. This is your freedom of the Western press, my friends. Expect insidious lies when facts do not coincide with their poisoned narratives; forget about balanced comments. Hypocrisy is a two-headed snake; it bites the hand that feeds it. That other head with the venomous fangs is now the most powerful man on earth.
