Gray Lady Censored by Chicoms
What goes around, comes around for the leftists at the New York Times:
China has blocked access to the New York Times Web site, the newspaper said Saturday, days after the central government defended its right to censor online content it deems illegal.
Computer users who logged on in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou received a message that the site was not available when they tried to connect on Friday morning, the paper said. …
It was not clear if the move was meant to block specific content on the newspaper's Web site or if it was a return to stricter censorship of the Internet in general. Beijing loosened some media and Internet controls during the 2008 Summer Olympics - gestures that were meant to show the international community that the games had brought greater freedom to the Chinese people.
No doubt the moonbats at the Slimes will be shocked to learn that China remains a police state despite the Olympic propaganda spectacle, just as it will amaze them that the leftist ideology they espouse is not conducive to freedom of the press.
On a tip from Wiggins.

The Chinese government are well within their rights to block reactionary, capitalist running-dog corporate media from corrupting the minds of their citizens. I don't see the problem here. At least they respect their President.
Now when will the corporate media start reporting all the GOOD news out of China, instead of just the bad stuff?

Sorry that should read "moonbat cognitive dissonance avoidance strategy", not sure what happened there.
And this might be an example of why the Times Co. stock is in the toilet.
