Hong Kong reporting

Hong Kong reporting

Postby Jonnno » Tue Oct 01, 2019 1:13 pm

Is UK over-reporting Hong Kong riots? Seems like level of reporting is equivalent to a major domestic UK situation such as miners strikes in 70s. Any comments?

No but my comment is about the amount of coverage being given by BBC. It seems disproportionate to me.

I think a protester being shot may have upped the game a little.
Plus most countries are making a big deal out of this.

A lot of the problems are because of the way we pulled out.

It dies to me Jonny, it seems to me the BBC and some members ignore government are highly delighted at the protests as though gloating at the Hong Kong & Chinese governments.
