Shame on you!!

"One American woman terrifies China." -- James Fallows

Michael Sneed, a shameless liar singlehandedly forged the rumor that the murder was a Chinese with her so-called "source". And she is such a coward and loser that with no courage to admit her fault, but just covered up her history sneakingly. What a shame!

Michael Sneed is a Chicago Sun-Times columnist who started the rumor that "authorities were investigating whether the gunman" responsible for the Virginia Tech mass shooting "... was a Chinese national who arrived in the United States last year" on an F-1 visa issued in Shanghai, China. Her report, published before authorities had made any announcement about the shooter's identity, was cited by mass media across the globe, including FOX News, MSNBC, ABC News, sina.com and sohu.com. The rumor proved incorrect when the Virginia Tech campus police announced on April 17th that the shooter was positively identified as a US permanent resident who moved to the United States from South Korea in 1992.

Shame on you!

And also shame on you, some damn Chinese media. Many of them were just accomplices in spreading this rumor without any verification. This is so disappointing and disgusting, especially when the one they hurt mercilessly are their fellow citizen. Comments from James:

1.3 billion Chinese people are grateful to you, Michael Sneed — grateful the alarm created singlehandedly by you proved false. They hold endless seminars on media ethics here, on the theory that they can shape up a state-controlled press. Maybe you’d like to come speak? I guarantee you’d draw a crowd.
