I wanted people to know the side of the story that was rarely heard here. Most forum posters here are smart enough to make their own judgment after hearing all sides of the story.

I have posted links showing what the protesters demanded, but you obviously chose not to look at it, and declared that no one on these forums project any of this whatsoever.

You don't understand, just the term western media is misleading and factually wrong, like race, or oriental...
Because this group IS nationalist and DO have the exact same arguments. Media within all the countries in the "west" vastly differ. I'm not out against all concepts of groups and solidarity, merely ones that don't make sense. I don't understand how you can't see that. You just watch a few American and British report, maybe sometimes French and generalize it to include pretty much any country (what the hell does western mean?)

I agreed that some arguments by some Chinese supporters here are not all that valid, but you were genaralizing it to include all Chinese supporters. Further, I have learned that it's better to discuss issues rather than posters on this forum.

I didn't fail to account it, that was my whole point.
I gave you the statistics.
I'll concede that it doesn't,

So you gave me the statistics that doesn't support your argument. Do I miss something here?

but I'll also make sure to remind you that the argument was where people were getting their information from; and the internet does not form a viable alternative to the monopoly of information that the CCP has.
No, most still get it from the government, if not, by other medias censored by the government. Thank you very much.

Those were not the arguments I contested. I never questioned the censorship of internet, or the overwhelming influence of the state-run media in China. I contested two of your arguments:
(1) the majority of the Chinese internet users surf the web in cybercafes (I gave you the statistics showing otherwise, and that statistics was quoted from the associated press);
(2) there is only one source in Chinese media (I gave you alternative sources which are accessible in China).
Are you right or wrong on these two arguments?
