Re: “People’s Republic Honors 60th Anniversary,” News, Oct. 2

The omissions in this article are an unfortunate example of journalistic negligence. How is it that out of an 880 word article about the history of the People’s Republic of China, there are only 70 words about the genocide of the government against its own people?

Where was the mention of the Tiananmen Square massacre? Why is there only a brief mention of the military occupation of Tibet? And where is the outrage over China’s involvement in the Darfur genocide?
