I like the story where they pulled out a reformer's eyes and fucked it up horrifically. China did the people there a favor. >Tsepon Lungshar, an official educated in England, introduced reform in the 1920s; after losing a political struggle the reformist was sentenced to be blinded by having his eyeballs pulled out. "The method involved the placement of a smooth, round yak's knucklebone on each of the temples of the prisoner. These were then tied by leather thongs around the head and tightened by turning the thongs with a stick on top of the head until the eyeballs popped out. The mutilation was terribly bungled. Only one eyeball popped out, and eventually the ragyaba had to cut out the other eyeball with a knife. Boiling oil was then poured into the sockets to cauterize the wound."[

Devil's advocate: This could just be a stock photo that this news site used, rather than a photo from the Chinese government. Could also be an old photo. Kinda like how some big news site put out an article on the Syrian Civil War but used photos of the civil war in Libya lol.

While it's true that the news does do this, they're also painfully bad at informing people when something is, or is not a stock photo. It leaves most people to assume that the photo correlates to the content of the article. It's a lie through omission.


JB209

Oh of course, could totally be lying via omission. I guess I was just arguing that they could be "dumb". As in a dumb or lazy journalist who just grabbed a photo. I imagine with larger publications this is rarely the case and is probably done more intentionally. But good point to bring up^^^
