CNN Apoligizes For Calling China 'Bunch Of Goons & Thugs Making Junk'

WiseOne · Apr 16, 2008

BEIJING CNN said Wednesday that commentator Jack Cafferty was referring to China's leaders not the Chinese people when he described them as a "bunch of goons and thugs," and apologized to anyone who thought otherwise.

On Tuesday, China demanded an apology for Jack Cafferty's comments broadcast on CNN, in which he also described Chinese products as "junk."

Beijing had already singled out U.S.-based CNN as among Western news outlets that produced allegedly biased coverage of violent anti-government protests in Tibet and across western China last month.

"CNN would like to clarify that it was not Mr. Cafferty's, nor CNN's, intent to cause offense to the Chinese people, and would apologize to anyone who has interpreted the comments in this way," the network said in an e-mailed statement.

WiseOne's Comments, shoot...why apologize for something that is true? Why is it that those squinty-eyed Chinese have such a love affair with lead? Maybe they can't see how much lead they are putting in? J/K, but really it is ridiculous the junk that comes out of that dump. But, then again IF goofy Americans wouldn't buy the Chinese junk, they would HAVE to get more quality...duh.

Apologize for what? They have lower standards of safety for making their crap. They've poisoned our dogs and cats. They make toys with the chemical in the date rape drug. And they've put the smack down on their citizens just for anyone speaking his mind.

It's true! Goons and thugs is a very precise description of the guvmunt of the People's Republic of China.
Maybe CNN is afraid they'll lose money in some manner if they didn't kiss some butt? Olympics related?
I hate butt-kissing....
