Chicoms take advantage of US media

Epoch Times:

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using the United States’ free and open media platforms to spread state propaganda and misinformation, according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Blinken said U.S. leadership is “deeply concerned” about the CCP’s efforts to quash press freedoms in mainland China while simultaneously exploiting free media in other nations to spread pro-Beijing messaging.

“We have a total imbalance, because these leaders in Beijing are using the free and open media that we ensure and are protected in democratic systems to spread propaganda, to spread misinformation,” he said.

Blinken made the comments as part of a speech recognizing World Press Freedom Day on May 3, during which he also highlighted the CCP regime’s efforts to leverage its financial ties with foreign corporations to either direct the content of foreign news companies or otherwise silence news that portrayed the regime in a negative manner.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat.
