Freedom isn't. China is getting pricklier by the minute regarding the freedom of the press in their country. Many people have criticized the government for a lack of the transparency that was promised. This is compounded by the gradual seeping out of dirty little truths (see my previous blog entry) now including the revelation that the giant's footsteps we all marveled at, stomping toward the birdsnest stadium, were in fact computer generated for the delight of audiences at home. I thought they looked amazing, and I was really impressed at the skillful display, and sheer firepower of so many 'works, but I was quite gutted to learn that they were fake C.G.Claims have been made in China's defense, but they seem trifling when China continually attmepts censorship of reality, and with long list of restrictions upon foreign journalism a devaluation of what Journalism is supposed to be about: Reporting Truths. However, this does give greater credence to the Bloggers, as we should be expected to speak freely and offer more honest opinions than registered journalists are able to:
Read the propaganda/evidence, form an opinion, then publish or perish. GO to it!

"Transparency"+ The desire to Impress the World (inevitably) = Bullshit.
