@phist_mcgee Here's my read of the same comment:
- The commenter is skeptical of the quality of Western media
- Commenter provides an anecdotal data point, which is by definition not reliable but provides some grounds for skepticism
- Human rights abuses have been and still are an issue in the United States. I would argue here that the comparison to China is facile at best but I understand the point being made.
You may have some strong counter arguments but starting off by accusing the commenter of being a "PLA" or "CCP" agent is undermining them.
