Hi Everybody! http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24367173-2703,00.html
"Bloggers in China have widely claimed the scandal was deliberately hushed up during the Olympic Games to prevent embarrassment for the country. "Websites in China reported that after the first stories of poisoned milk began to appear, Sanlu contacted Baidu, the country's biggest search engine, to offer it $500,000 as a "public relations" fee to screen out negative reports. "While Baidu refused the offer, it and all other domestic media were soon instructed by the Communist Party's central propaganda department to restrict all coverage of the affair to centrally supplied information". Hope the commie bosses are not as embarrassed now as they would have been then. The delay in dealing with the issue only cost them a few babies, and there are plenty more babies in China. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
