One of the interesting things about this story is that it seems to be breaking out even though the mainstream outlets aren't covering it yet (presumably because it's unconfirmed). In a sense, the Internet is OBE'ing the mainstream media. This could turn out to be a bad thing for the reputation of the blogosphere if the story turns out to be false, or it could turn out to be a bad thing for the reputation of the mainstream media if it turns out to be true. Wouldn't it be interesting if this story turned out to be true, and became household knowledge, all before it was ever reported on a major network news broadcast?

 

This may turn out to be an interesting example of the tricky nature of news stories in the digital age.

hello

 

i remember a story of this (not this particular place but of organ harvesting in china) being broadcast on a major news chanel in the u.s.

the story was on human organ harvesting from condemmed prisoners. as the death penalty is legal in china, officals were saying that these people were prisoners condemmed to death by execution. their take being that since they where to be put to death anyway, that removing their organs after death was not legally wrong. these officals seemed more concerned with assuring possible purchasers that prisoners where not executed by means that might damage or contaminate the organs.

little else was said or investigated as far as i can tell. it would appear that with many western nations needing the emerging chinese economy to help keep their own running along, that they are not willing to press for investigation of the reports as it may result in retaliation that would cause trade complications.

 

money is money, business is business

As you say, the earlier stories were about harvesting organs from condemned prisoners. This story purports the Chinese may be harvesting organs from a persecuted religious minority.
