true. But whenever you read news report, please consider

from which perspective the report is written. There is no absolute objectivity.
This time the openness of media is a big improvement. Why do we have to let western media in? In the past, they did distort the facts.
Even this time, in NPR's report, which is pretty good, they reported a story that some victims complained. We know there must be people unhappy with the work of government. However, in the report, they reported one story people were happy, and a story people were unhappy. Even only 10% people unhappy, from the report it seems 50% people were unhappy. So, think for yourself when you read/listen to news.
