Frankly these days with many medias trying to claim negativities on China we just need to be more prudent in reading those material. 

Of course similar can be said on those medias who tend to paint a positive views on China too. 

But suggest that we don’t simply take what was claimed on the media, especially from the west. Reason is for many years they have misled the world with their claims. Examples such as Iraq, Syria, etc. just to claim a few. 

More importantly the western democracy has somewhat failed to give a better lives to the people with their ever so “righteousness” claims over the past years. And all they did were to make themselves stay ahead of the Chinese or the communist but the more they tried, they instilled more lies to paint themselves to be the good.  But ending up doing the wrong things that make them looked bad instead.  

So sad that these western medias have to resort to such acts. Those freedom of speech claims are beginning to show more lies than truth in my opinion.

It's true that western media has a very bad track record when it comes to truth telling, but the more interesting thing is why do people still believe them after they tried such stunts a few times? Is it really because people believe that "white" people are more truthful or rather they believe because the Caucasian societies are generally richer and lead a better life and that is what they aspire to?

I believe it's the latter. Fundamentally western media has been lying and mudslinging its opponents since the start of the cold war in 1950s. Yet, they are generally seen as paradigms of truths by most people, even the citizens of the communist bloc. So why is there a sudden crisis and now they seem to be getting more and more desperate with the lies becoming more and more bombastic and unbelievable?

My hypothesis is that relatively speaking they have stagnated, their social issues and conflicts are piling up and ironically news has become freerer. People now get info much closer to the ground and realize that while western societies are still better, the reality on the ground is not as ideal as thought and the gap is actually closing fast especially with regards to China. The western media appear to realize the danger as well, but instead of being a helpful force for positive change, chose to indulge in a knee jerk psychological defense of spinning increasingly bizarre and hard to believe tall tales. That's not really helping anyone including themselves as well.
