CCTV FOLLIES 5.2 WHAT'S NOT IN THE NEWS?
China's flagship news station offers zero coverage of conflict and strife on US college campuses -Both protests and crackdowns obvious by absence -Now that it's already May can June 4th be far behind?
US media coverage of crackdowns in recent days on protests at UCLA and Columbia among other campuses has been obsessive, colorful, wild, unruly and round the clock.




CCTV Evening News coverage about the US during the same news cycle:
“According to US media reports on the 1st, high inflation continues to impose a burden on American families. The Federal Reserve decided to keep the target range of the federal funds rate unchanged at 5.25% to 5.5%. The Federal Reserve stated in a statement that U.S. inflation has eased over the past year but remains high.”
It’s a rather gentle story about the US for CCTV, mostly about inflation worries at the gas pump, rising prices for meat and bakery goods.
