I am disappointed in the media for blowing this out of perportion. This is China’s one chance to show the world that it is not a bad place that it has been made out to be. Of course China has a bad rap and deserviedly so but they are making every effort to show the world that they want to change. Sure China isn’t America and sure it is still quite backwards from the rest of the world but do you think the media would go easy on China had these efforts have not been taken? The Chinese athaletes and people may not share the same luxaries and freeoms which we take for granted but neither does the other 75% of the world. Everyone is trying their best and is trying to put their best face forward. So why all the attacks? The bad press will always be there. But for the 14 days that is the Olympics let them have their moment. It was a decision made by all participants that this was for the country and not individual gain. I’m sure the little girls feelings were hurt. Who wouldn’t. But at the same time, the media has gone on a blitz saying she is too ugly. Ugly is a harsh word to use. Her not being able to sing the song live may have hurt her feelings but it’s the media’s attack which has left and indelible mark on her young ego.
