Bird flu is such DrudgeryPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Thursday, November 10, 2005 at 11:10 PM
 Drudge is chicken This is Wikipedia's entry on the Drudge Report: The Drudge Report is a popular U.S.-based news website run by Matt Drudge. The site consists primarily of links to stories from the mainstream media about politics, entertainment, and various current events, and to many popular columnists, although Drudge occasionally authors a story of his own ... The Drudge Report is most famous for being the first entity to break news of the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the public, which led to President Clinton's impeachment and subsequent aquittal. Love him or hate him, Drudge has a superb nose for finding the news that sells in America. Today's small headlines above the Drudge logo: - Bird flu strain found in Italy It's really quite sad. How many people have died in the Kashmir earthquake? Perhaps more than 50 thousand, nobody even knows. How many people die of malaria, bilharzia, diarrhea and other preventable diseases every day? How many people die every day because they work in badly maintained coal mines? Of alll the things to make into news, bird flu is the most preposterous. Links and Sources

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
