#FakeNews media acts as a mouthpiece for Chinese tyrants

It turns out that the China Daily, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist dictators, has been putting ads that look like news articles into leading American publications for a very long time.

That the newspapers like the the New York Times, The Washington Post, and even the Wall Street Journal were willing to run Chinese propaganda that framed Chinese atrocities like the persecution of the people of Hong Kong in a good light is a sign of just how unAmerican these outlets can be.

They're willing to aid the Chinese tyrants attempt to lie to we the people for a few bucks.  That's not what Americans do to their fellow Americans.

Even worse it turns out that while the law allows this it imposes reporting requirements on the China Daily which the Daily hasn't been following.  By not reporting many of it's activities it was presumably trying to avoid any government scrutiny into its attempt to convince Americans that sending people to concentration camps just because they're Muslim is a good thing.

The WaPo is the leading collaborator having run nearly 400 pages with China Daily "ads" over the last 8 years.  Not surprising then that the WaPo hates Trump fighting back against China's attacks on free trade.  Remember that the average tariff on American goods entering China before Trump started fighting back was 4 times higher than the average tariff on Chinese goods entering America.

Clearly no organization with anything remotely resembling a conscience would run ads designed to look like articles that defended the mass incarceration of Muslim ethnic minorities in China for the crime of not being ethnically Chinese.

This doesn't prove that every word these outlets publish is a lie but it does show that the people who decide what they publish have a very different view of the world than the average American.
