Difference between Chinese and USA media
Same data for the Olympics, different way of presentation:
At Sina Olympic front page:
At CNN Sports Illustrated:
Singapore news site, Channel NewsAsia:
Singapore rather covers Thaksin in the front page. That’s because we haven’t won any medals yet. Channel NewsAsia Beijing Olympic site talks about the Olympic spirit, the dance and some Olympic history.
Guess the USA prefers to use total medal count rather then most golds or silvers :p

China follows proper Olympic ranking system (Gold comes first)
CNN is playing the propaganda game again
stupid west chauvinism

Yeah, but I love it when they present data in ways favorable to their causes. Haha
