1/6: Shame on Pasadena Weekly's One-Sided China-Bashing Articles Lee Siu Hin National Coordinator National Immigrant Solidarity Network _http://www.ImmigrantSolidarity.org_ (http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/) ActionLA Coalition _http://www.ActionLA.org_ (http://www.actionla.org/) Peace NO War Network _http://www.PeaceNOWar.net_ (http://www.peacenowar.net/) Last year Pasadena Weekly, ran dozen one-sided anti-China (and anti-2008 Beijing Olympic games) articles and editorials. Their source, is almost based a small just marginalizes and never heard (until 2007) the so-called Caltech Falun Gong Club and his club president John Li's interviews, calling city to him the group to pass resolution condemn China government against Falun Gong, and to ban China-themed float at Jan 1st Rose Parade. Pasadena Weekly, rarely interest to cover international, national and even state-wide issues that will affect their city residents's life (such as: immigrant rights, war in Iraq, SCHIP and budget cuts), took unusual efforts to wrote at least 13 feature article past years on this group and their anti-China campaigns--it virtually an editorial endorsements from PW. Two of such these articles.

(Los Times, Activists fail to stir opposition to China's float: _http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-chinarose30dec30,1,7434413.story_ (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-chinarose30dec30,1,7434413.story) (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-chinarose30dec30,1,7434413.story?ctrack=2&cset=true) ) So, I need to say--Shame on Pasadena Weekly's One-Sided China-Bashing Articles! and I made one of my 2008 New Year's resolution--I will never read PW again. ================================================================= ActionLA Action for World Liberation Everyday!
