The Epoch Times has a good article discrediting a recent New York Times “review” of NTDTV’s recent Chinese New Year Splendor.

“One of those interviews was with John Wright, formerly with the Times own book review department. When asked what he thought of the show, Wright said, “It was very beautiful, very different.”

But the Times published on Feb. 6 a peculiar review of Splendor (under the byline of Eric Konigsberg) that did anything but suggest the consensus response. Backed with quotes from all of three audience members who were critical, only one of whom gave his or her full name, the Times proclaimed in its headline, “A Glimpse of Chinese Culture That Some Find Hard to Watch.”

What made the Times article even more unusual was that its criticisms mimic the line of China’s communist regime, which has engaged in a behind-the-scenes campaign to have Splendor shut down. “
