令人惊讶的是，为什么人们应该期望任何地方的媒体都是“公平和客观的”。对任何一家媒体来说，最重要的两件事，一是资金，二是来源。你们提供这些吗？不？那么，媒体为什么要对你“公正客观”？
这里的很多评论就像是有瑞士奶酪记忆的人刚刚开始学习如何阅读。我是说，几十年来，各大新闻机构的消息来源都是众所周知的。事实上，很明显。
纽约时报/时代周刊/新闻周刊都有美国CIA中情局的消息来源。它们通常是战略工厂。
乔·阿尔索普与美国被遗忘的密码 Joe Alsop and America's Forgotten Code
间谍称纽约时报专栏作家为“资产”的由来已久。老布什担心，如果他的间谍再出版几本“一个记者抵得上20个间谍”的书，大厦将倾万劫不复。
《华盛顿邮报》与联邦调查局FBI有着长期的合作关系。 Mark Felt 不确定主要是“官方泄密”还是“不满的泄密”。
NBC/CNN是五角大楼的老帮手了。
各大财经媒体都与美国国家安全局保持联系。
Carl Bernstein，那个爆出水门丑闻 Watergate scandal的人，他花了6个月的时间调查中情局与媒体的联系，然后在几十年前公布了调查结果。当老布什上台后，他不得不说，不，我们不会让我们的中情局雇员全职在媒体上工作了！只允许自由职业者和兼职者！一夜之间，一半的美国媒体都陷入了混乱！这事没多久，人们已经忘记了吗？

很多记者真心实意地觉得，这只是他们在尽爱国的职责，有什么问题。你对他们指指点点，而上层的人都一起打高尔夫球，一起去参加party。你才是那局外人。
另外，中国政府也不在乎。美国媒体用英语让美国人民吃屎，这和中国人有什么关系？
所以，如果美国人不在乎，中国人也不在乎，你为什么在乎？你是新媒体的投资人还是提供了新闻媒体的来源？都不是？那么，你就是产品，就是要卖给广告商的那对眼球。
我从杂货店买的香蕉，对我是做成奶昔还是香蕉船没有发言权。
Is Western media really demonizing the perception of China?
The surprising thing is why people should expect the Media anywhere to be “fair and objective”. The two most important things for any media outlet, one is funding, the other is source. Do you provide either? No? Then why SHOULD the media be “fair and objective” to you?
Also a lot of the comments here are like being made by someone with the memory of Swiss cheese who just started to learn how to read. I mean, the sources of major news outlets have been known for decades. It’s actually really, really, obvious.
The New York Times / Times / Newsweek have CIA sources. They are usually strategic plants. Joe Alsop and America's Forgotten Code Long history of the spooks calling some NYT columnists their “assets”. Bush Sr. was worried that the whole house would fall down if anymore of his spooks coming out with “one journalist is worth 20 spies”.
Washington Post has a long-standing relationship with the FBI. Mark Felt Not sure if it’s mostly “official leaks” or “disgruntled leaks”.
NBC / CNN have your old Pentagon hands.
The major financial press all have line with the NSA.
Carl Bernstein, the guy who broke the Watergate scandal, spent 6 months investigating CIA - Media link, and then published the result decades ago. When Bush Sr. came to power, he had to say, no we won’t have our paid full-time CIA employees working in the media anymore! Only freelancers and part-timers allowed! Overnight, half of the US media outlets had to scramble! It wasn’t so long ago. Have people already forgotten all about it?
Carl Bernstein
A lot of the reporters genuinely feel that this is just them doing their patriotic duty, and what’s wrong with it. The guys you are pointing fingers to, the top guys all play golf together and go to parties together. You are the outsider.
Also the Chinese government doesn’t really care either. American media spilling sh*t to American people, in English, what has that got to do with the Chinese.
So if the Americans don’t care, and the Chinese don’t care, why do you care? Do you fund the new outlet or do you provide source for the news outlet? No? Well then, you are the product, the pair of eyeballs to be sold to the advertisers.
The banana I buy from the grocer doesn’t get a say on whether I make it into a smoothie or a banana split.
