The article itself is a perfect example of the Western media’s failure to present news with a well-rounded perspective. Its inability to address the issue in the context of past events, and the opinionated undertone are shocking. I am surprised that the editors had not been aware of what consequences of publishing such a biased news story would have on a prestigious school like BU. And on this point, I am quite saddened to see that an academic institution like BU is tolerating the subtle promotion of prejudice. Problems about the article: - The entire story was solely based on one person’s opinion, that of Anne Donohue, whose limited observation and perception of the situation unfortunately undermine an objective perspective. - Very importantly, the story was not put in context of series of events that had happened since mid-March. The reporter failed to allude to any instance that explains why some in China believed Western Media would lie. It is true that Western Media have published images that were not taken from the actual site of the riots and labeled them otherwise. And simply put it, they lied. Also, the article did not even attempt to explain the anger felt by some in China. Perhaps, the arrogant comments made by Jack Cafferty, CNN anchor could explain the outrage, who labeled Chinese as “goons and thugs”. Though Cafferty attempted to justify his comments, his clarification remained questionable and insincere. - All of the alleged “threats” are not quoted from credential sources. Meanwhile, the article failed to provide any direct quotes from local Chinese. The only one allusion to the sentiment felt by China was actually quoted from Donohue, whose comment clearly reflected her personal interpretation. Last but not least, the title of the article mislead the truth and was clearly a reflection of the level of arrogance that many non-Caucasian and non-American students have been experience.
