Probably cheaper to start their own program than to send them one by one to the Columbia School of Journalism.

Actually, I was thinking this could be a great opportunity for recently laid off US reporters and journalists as they are all prequalified...

“Communist theories of journalism say media should serve the leadership and not undermine its initiatives — a stark contrast to the independent government watchdog role many democracies embrace.”

It appears that everyone employed by the MSM has been well trained in the “Communist theories of journalism”. They serve as the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. It is amazing that the Media in China may actually be more independent of the Communist Party than the MSM in the U.S.

More proof that, if you support Free Trade with COMMUNIST China.....you are a COMMUNIST

I wonder how the Liberal Free Trader Globalists are going to spin this one....maybe they can get advice from Soros/Carter/Clinton/Gore and their other buddies on the Globalist Left.

This makes no sense. They are nominally more capitalist than us. Unless, of course, communism to them now means ‘be capitalist but don’t try to mess with the political leadership.’

China rejected them as 'too far to the left'.

Not a problem.

I suggest the Chinese go to this website and inquire about the availability of Marxist experts. David Horowitz could provide the guidance they need. His parents were Communists, he was himself a practicing Marxist for many years and he is well versed in Marxist Theory. Of course this might not be exactly what the Chinese have in mind. LOL.

China will not have to require such training for American journalists accredited to its government.

Unlike our media, the Chinese are honest about their bias. They have no useful idiots who confuse their opinion for fact.

China should just its reporter wannabees to the good old USA. Harvard, Yale, Berkely are among the best commie schools in the country.

Big difference, the Chinese only require that their reporters be trained in Marxist theory, where here in Obamaland they are required to practice Marxist theory.
