Rubio attempting to kidnap US media to serve his own anti-China agenda - superadmin - 02-12-2022 Attempting to kidnap US media to serve his own anti-China agenda, Rubio further jeopardizes US media’s crumbling credibility Infamous US anti-China senator Macro Rubio is spouting his trademark nonsense again. In an op-ed for Fox News Friday, Rubio hit out at the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for what he believes favorable coverage of China during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.  He accused NBC of "reciting Chinese Communist Party talking points in its broadcasts of the Winter Olympics from Beijing," saying NBC "could just as easily be named the 'National Beijing Corporation.'" His simple and groundless evidence is that when covering the February 4 opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, NBC analysts described so-called "first-hand accounts and verified reports of Beijing's human rights abuses" as "allegations," and the network cited the Chinese government as saying "accusations of genocide are the lie of the century."  The Chinese side has refuted the Western slander of "Uygur genocide" with solid evidences and data, which was not mentioned in NBC's Olympics coverage. The US broadcaster was simply quoting one sentence of Chinese government's response to the accusations of "genocide," but even this was unacceptable to Rubio, seen by him as an act of "peddling a hostile regime's propaganda" and "a capitulation to the Party, motivated by corporate greed." - More -
