This poses a dilemna for the MSM. They were probably planning to just bareley mention Bush’s visit (if it was Obama they would be doing 24X7 coverage). Now that they’re being “abused” they’re going to want to say something.

(CBS)—CBS News Correspondent Mark Knoller reports via e-mail that “something of a standoff” has developed between the U.S. and China over the White House press plane.

He and other reporters are not being let off the charted White House press plane which is on the tarmac at the Beijing airport.

Chinese authorities have demanded to search all the luggage and equipment on the aircraft—going back on a previous agreement. The White House refused, and so no one on the plane has been allowed to get off. A White House official says the dispute is now being discussed at”higher levels.”

Each of us knew this was the real China.

The question at this point is, how have we reacted to knowing this was the real China?

We just kept playing along.

And we will keep playing along.

These little sign-posts along the way seem to mean nothing.

What is the difference between the MSM and a huge bag of crap?

The bag and it ain’t big enough.

Why would the Chinese make their best allies uncomfortable?

Standoff in China over White House Press plane—Press not being allowed off

Can you blame the Chinese party members?

If they read Bernard Goldberg and surf Free Republic, the ChiComms
know they are unlikely to get a fair shake from the MSM.

(Yes, I’m being facetious!)

What could the pressers be hiding? What's the penalty for cocaine possession in China?

"The Chinese don't want to let the press in because they are far too Marxist for the Chinese"

ROFL!! All the MSM hacks with their dog-eared copies of Mao's "Little Red Book" were considered threats to the new PRC. They didn't want to go back to the days of the "Cultural Revolution"..... /s

They're probably targeting known associates of Bill Handel.

Marjorie and the twins won't like that.

Good. Maybe the Red Chinese can put them into prison for life.

As funny as your comment is, you could actually be right. The Chinese traded in Communism for Facism about 1989. Only the mainstream media doesn’t know it yet because they can’t bring themselves to recognize it.
