Crooked Media

What happens when someone becomes a human-rights icon – but then turns out to stand for something else entirely? Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng was locked up for fighting against China’s One Child Policy and suffered years of unlawful imprisonment.

    I love the way they speak about the 45th president. They went easy on him. Rapist dirt bag

  • Sounds like a political hit piece

    I was interested to learn more about Cheng Guangcheng. But this is really just a political piece trying to neutralize his support of MAGA. Not a MAGA fan myself, but I feel this type of “journalism” is why people are becoming more and more disinterested in it.

  • Disappointed

    I thought I was going to hear about someone who stood for his beliefs but couldn’t get past the language spoke about our 45th president. Like him or hate him it was just unnecessary. One star is too much of a rating!

    This is too complex a story for a ‘pod-save-the-world’ perspective of the experiences of oppression. Dear god, speak to an expert (lived-experience or someone who has studied the subject). more
