FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY
Today’s winner is Southern Weekend (nanfang zhoumo), the weekly newspaper known for publishing investigative stories, usually followed by the sacking of various editors.
The headline is “Eye witness: cadres live in AIDS village”. The article reports on various cadres from Henan province who visited the infamous village decimated by HIV after dodgy blood transfusions. Vice Premier Wu Yi tagged along.
WORST FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY
Beijing Daily Messenger (Xinbao): half the front page is advertising, and the headline is nonsensical blather about Taiwan. Go Xinbao!
