I'd make it 95%, 95% of the time. It's time people in Asia and the world know which reporters, newspapers, television, directors, actors, languages, and countries to IGNORE. This is the twentyfirst century. Journalists cannot mask and manufacture truth as easily as they used to (notice how AFP, Reuters, etc. always try to frame a Chinese security guard in the picture?)

Even though western press has been the standard for its freedom and objectivity in reporting, I have found the 90% of the articles in the west to be very biased and extremely negative towards China. I agree that modern China has many things to work on, but every nation, just like every person deserves an unbiased account of its accomplishments and failures. It's reporters like you and articles like this that make me hold on to whatever little faith I have left in the western media since the torch relay in March.
