Fake news story –
=========
Amnesty International and Nahdlatul Ulama, Indonesia’s largest Muslim organization, have called for the end of human rights violations in Tibet in light of the Communist Chinese government’s 60+-year occupation of the territory.

That of course is satire. No way the Jakarta Globe would publish that!

HERE is the…
REAL news story –
Amnesty International and Nahdlatul Ulama, Indonesia’s largest Muslim organization, have called for the end of human rights violations in Palestine in light of the Israeli government’s 50-year occupation of the territory,

So how come?
How come Amnesty isn’t loudly launching a campaign against importing stuff from the brutally colonised country invaded, occupied and terrorised by the Beijing marxist dictatorship?
More interesting would be to put the same question to the NU, who are actually one of the most ‘moderate’ outfits here.

Are they concerned with Palestine merely because of the irrelevant fact that most Palestinians are Muslim?
If so, up to them.
Rights allegedly taken from their co-religionists are more important than rights ripped from other peoples?
Okay, up to them.
But what about the Jakarta Globe?
Not a word from any Israeli source to balance the numerous whines included in their report?
And the JG even includes a direct link to an anti-Israel petition. And a big Palestinian flag at the top of their report?
That’s what caught my eye, because it reminded me of the bigoted bias of TVOne here, which I covered more than once…

…that ghastly pictorial background, and the miserable pro-Palestinian dirge droning away, when we naively expected them to do their duty and cover the conflict with professional objectivity.
No petition links from me, except THESE –
Take action | Free Tibet
Long Live Free Tibet!
BTW, I’m not NU-bashing. I am equally critical of the Trump Administration on this issue.
…the Trump administration recently took a step away from precedent by proposing zero aid to the Tibetans in 2018. http://thediplomat.com/2017/06/did-the-us-just-abandon-tibet/

You should know by now, Ross, the media here is not worth reading for the most part.
The TV is worse.
I would make Tempo an exception to the above. They are a cut above the rest, but who are we from the West to complain, when we have CNN and ABC to be embarrassed by!
You sure cover a multitude of news.in a lot of countries, but I liked that dangdut story earlier more than all the political stories. .
