'The Washington Post has had a financial stake in Chinese propaganda for years. Of course it is going to go to great lengths to defend a Chinese spyware app,' ZacharyFaria writes.
The outlet's defensive coverage of TikTok, the Chinese spyware app that Congress may soon ban, was bolstered by Taylor Lorenz. In her coverage, Lorenz twisted the words of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers to make it seem as if Rodgers had said TikTok does not allow posts about the genocide of the Uyghurs or the Tiananmen Square massacre. In fact, Rodgers asked whether the app has removed that content before.
Lorenz adds her piece to a series of Washington Post defenses of TikTok, which includes columnist Max Boot claiming that the Chinese spyware app isn’t any worse than the social media apps that aren’t controlled by the CCP. Earlier this month, Boot warned that the bipartisan opposition to China’s genocidal communist regime was a “collective delusion.”
For starters, the paper has a dedicated TikTok content team, which it has expanded at least twice in the last year, boasting that it was “building on the momentum it has gained engaging new audiences on the highly-downloaded app.”
