Anyone depending on legacy network news for coverage of China’s military parade, honoring the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, might have thought they were watching Chinese state media. Among these, CBS was the most effusive in their ChiCom suck-uppery.
Watch as CBS’s China correspondent Anna Coren does her best to sound like she’s at Xinhua, as she hails the “global order changing before our very eyes”:
ANNA COREN: Overseeing his troops under a blazing sun, China’s President Xi Jinping was looking to project the image of a man fulfilling his destiny. "Greetings, comrades. You are working hard”, he tells them. Hosting China's largest-ever military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Xi was front and center. Flanked by his powerful allies and neighbors, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
What we are witnessing here in Beijing is the global order changing before our very eyes. China, Russia, and North Korea showing solidarity against the West, directly challenging the U.S.-led world order.
