I really love Hukou, it has a nice old-Taiwan feel, all crowded with cramped storefronts and small shops.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-75719094727482468552007-02-05T09:31:00.000+08:002007-02-05T09:31:00.000+08:00I don't think the issue is an anti-Taiwan bias -- ...I don't think the issue is an anti-Taiwan bias -- I doubt CNN has an overt bias the way the BBC does -- but rather, the way in which the international media uncritically adopts the discourses of Beijing when it discusses the Taiwan issue.<br /><br />And Roy, the formatting for the paper and the website are different, so it is common for words to be hyphenated in the web text even when they aren't on a line break, because they were formatted for the print version. The paper doesn't put much into the website, and they don't clean up the text to format it for the web.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-42018851729441751092007-02-05T09:20:00.000+08:002007-02-05T09:20:00.000+08:00I appreciate Dan Bloom's sentiment, and CNN may ve...I appreciate Dan Bloom's sentiment, and CNN may very well have an anti-Taiwan bias (I haven't ever seen their coverage so I have no comment) but his point about the spelling of Chen Shui Bian's name doesn't impress me much when I see an article in yesterday's Taipei Times that spells Taiwan as "Tai-wan."<br /><br />http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2007/02/04/2003347616Roy Bermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02404504492160833658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-30509229793304027012007-02-05T09:10:00.000+08:002007-02-05T09:10:00.000+08:00You know, CNN has changed the transcript of the CH...You know, CNN has changed the transcript of the CHEN interview to print his name correctly now, as Chen Shui-bian. They did this after I wrote an email to Anjali Rao personally and politely told her of the printing gaffe. She graciously corected it on the transcript, it's there now, and she also made shure Ma Ying-jeou's name was printed correctly on screen for the interview with him. It was. the week before, when CNN was promoting the Ma interview, they printed his name MA YING JEOU, three words, but after my email, they corrected it. So CNN does listen to viewers. that's good to hear. to write to any reporter at CNN, just write the name like this<br /><br />firstname.lastname@turner.com<br /><br />the reporter's name with a period between first and last name as above. it will arrive and they often write back.<br /><br />this formula can be used to contact any reporter or news reader at CNN.DANIELBLOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130493903696077379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-42110604885898486332007-02-05T05:51:00.000+08:002007-02-05T05:51:00.000+08:00Michael, that shot of Hukou is right before the tr...Michael, that shot of Hukou is right before the train station isn't it? :) God I miss Hukou...<br /><br /><br />KengUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376592196494953669noreply@blogger.com
