China Lauds iPhone App That Spreads Gov't Views
angry tapir writes "China's film and TV regulator has praised the growth of an iPhone application from state broadcaster CCTV as the country looks for new ways to project its political views abroad. The free iPhone app, one of a growing number from Chinese state-owned news outlets, has gained 500,000 users in the month or so since it went online and is adding 2,000 new users each day, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said in a statement on its Web site. The CCTV app has shown 'favorable performance' and proven especially popular during broadcasts of major events, such as a high-flown military parade held in Beijing last month, the statement said."
And this app was approved by Apple? I mean, sure, Apple can do whatever they want on their playground, I guess, even be douchebags.

You'll burn in hell for this, Apple!
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
The only disinformation I see is coming from the Democrats. Illegal immigrants won't be covered under the health bill? Yes they will -- at the ER for free just as they currently do.
Are you arguing that that doctors should let someone bleed to death on the steps of the hospital?
If you already have insurance you can keep it? No you can't. The Government is going to tell the insurance companies what kind of policies they have to sell. Want a high-deductible plan and HSA or flex spending account? Sorry, your out of luck. We aren't going to let you do that.

You forgot to mention the part where they wanted citizens to "help us out" by reporting dissent directly to the White House. I guess they gave up on that idea though.
Spreading lies about legislative proposals aren't "dissent." Stop trying to paint yourself as a "freedom fighter." Real freedom fighters get arrested, disappeared, and killed.
Wonder what would have been the reaction if GWB had tried to do the same thing?
Like always, Republicans know how to do secret police right.
You are absolutely correct about Keith, but you know who's really bad on MSNBC? The "Ed Show," I can't even watch that show. At least Rachel Maddow is kind of cute, even if she's a lesbian.
