Comment on Australian Cheng Lei's first message from Chinese prison describes harsh conditions

You really need to do the bare minimum of research on this person. It is highly likely she has better “language abilities” than you.

Maybe but that makes it even more perplexing why she would go. It’s not like she would do any actual journalism there like I said. Being told what to say rather than telling the truth isn’t really journalism.

How is that a mystery? She is bi-lingual and was born in China. And yes, she did do “actual journalism” there - she worked for CNBC for nearly a decade.

Ok so she’s bilingual. But I still refute that she did much journalism. Sprouting propoganda and operating in a censored environment isn’t really journalism in my books. She had no editorial independence.
