what's wong with this picture?
Read this article about Jan Wong, the "journalist" who recently lambasted my hometown of Rochester, NY in Toronto's Globe and Mail.
Known for lulling interview subjects into a false sense of security, she then routinely exposes the flaws and vulnerabilities they expose once their guard is let down. Fair play, maybe, when the subject is some pretentious celeb, but a breast cancer survivor?
this behavior shouldn't surprise us, though, given that, when she was attending college in Beijing, she ratted a fellow student (who had expressed an interest in moving to the West) out to the Chinese Government. That student subsequently disappeared. Ms. Wong characterizes that action as "naive". Hey, we all make mistakes, right?
So I guess Rochester got off easy. And I'm guessing most Torontonians know what they're getting when they read Wong's articles: the product of a Maoist enemy of freedom who hates women and children and has a little problem with pooping herself (the only reason I can think of for her irrational fear of greasy food).
