#1 Under communist theories of journalism, media should support the leadership rather than operate as a watchdog.

Funny, that describes the New York Times ever since Obama got into office.

#4 Why do they have to go to the trouble to set up a brand new system to train their journalists in this? The school they want already exists.

They can just send their reporters to Columbia Journalism School. They've been teaching "Marxist and communist theories of news" as the highest form of the art since the '60s.

#5 I wonder what the hell is left of Marxism and communism in China. They've revised it so many times since Mao that it is probably unrecognizable to the Marxism and communism taught in American journalism schools.

"Nielsen Ratings says, 'Those with high ratings during prime time, with best demographic age and gender groups, will prosper under heaven, and be smiled upon by the advertiser gods.' "
