Protesters held missile models to illustrate the perceived threat from China.
The
perceived threat! The Beeb is usually pretty good, so it is kind of suprising to see something as asinine as "perceived" in front of the word 'threat' when describing the missiles that China points at us. Sad, too.

this is "pc" at its best Michael. you can't come right out and actually say something bad about China. it might make them upset.
ReplyDeleteIt's just incredible, I'd send them a blistering letter, but I just sent a firm one to the LA Times about the DeVoss piece above. I was stunned to see that in the Beeb. What next? "Perceived" dead from our next quake?
