CCTV FOLLIES 2.5 News blackout in full color

-Extensive coverage of US weather
-Nothing on the "weather balloon"
-Detailed reports from all corners of the US
(except for Myrtle Beach)
-Lead story about spring planting
-Big story on Chinese culture
-China in full bloom
CCTV does some world-class navel-gazing with a lavish look at itself at the tail end of the lunar new year holiday. Dragon dances everywhere...
Dragon and Pearl!

(The dragon's big, beautiful white pearl, also affectionately known as 'that weather balloon' got shot down on Feb 4 by an F22 over Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but you won't hear a word about that on China's most authoritative TV news program)
(Yesterday's roundup had nothing about the long, lazy overflight of said dragon pearl*)
*weather balloon
Really?
Today's news makes up for yesterday's studied silence with an extended segment on the US.
Bad weather is raging across the eagle's brow, as if the wrath of Marx were somehow in play.
Trucks face icy conditions...
Traffic is slowed by wintry mix...
The bad country has come to a standstill
Mist and fog hover near the roadway...
The wind blows hard on Crownspoint Road near AutoZone
Some wires are iced over
And Americans are without power.
Thank you for watching the news!
Zai Jian!

Patrick Chovanec, a consultant at Silvercrest Asset Mgmt has done some China virtue-signaling by compiling photos about the 1989 Tiananmen demonstrations, an event he evidently knows little about.
(a thread) Image
To do this, he compiled over a dozen of my photos on his blog , and when I brought this to his attention, he made no effort to credit the photos or reveal where he got them from. patrickchovanec.com/about/
Image
Some of the photos now have a life of their own on the internet, including the above photo, (caption by Chovanec) which has been used by conspiratorial pro-China bloggers as proof of a "color revolution."

CCTV FOLLIES: 5.26
China state TV doubles down on dubious Russia claims about "secret" US bio-labs in Ukraine.
(from May 26 Xinwen Lianbo) Image
Anchor Li Zimeng couches the accusations in the language of Russia's Defense Ministry, but the CCTV editors like the story enough for it to get major airtime. Image
The Russia Defense Ministry, solid architectural monolith that it is, is portrayed as a presumably authoritative source. Image

CCTV FOLLIES 4.1 The April Fools news is real

Read all about it! Top of the news! Yet another much-heralded publication by the indefatigable freelance writer Xi Jinping, whose excessive narcissism is nicely balanced with pictures of himself.
Up next, a nostalgic look back to 2017 when this man was laying the foundation of today's greatness.
Among many, many other incredible, almost super-human accomplishments, he created a city out of dust.
