China Concedes (A Little)
We mentioned a few days ago that the Chinese government has blocked journalists' access to a number of Internet sites at the Olympic Games' main press center and media venues.
There's been a little development.
The government has agreed to unblock some Internet sites.
Unfortunately, others remained off limits.
This is far from the “free and unfettered access” the organizers and Chinese officials had promised for months.
Boo!
Senior International Olympic Committee officials met late into the night Thursday with their Chinese counterparts and said they reached an agreement to unblock sites, although the IOC statement said the details were still being formulated.
The IOC is such a big bunch of pussies.
Why don't they DEMAND that the Chinese keep their promise?
Too bad these games haven't even begun and they're already tainted with so much unpleasantness.
