评论 Letter From China | American Journalism Review

美国新闻评论周刊年初有一篇作者为 McLaughlin 的文章，对奥运期间新闻报道作出了一番评论。

据评论中说，颁布奥运新闻报道规则之后不久，北京奥委会的人就承诺对采访奥运的外国记者，允许自由旅行，并且其互联网访问不受监控。

A few weeks after the new restrictions came out, officials from the Beijing Olympics committee promised unfettered travel in China and uncensored Internet access for foreign reporters covering the games. In addition, organizing committee officials announced at a news conference in the Chinese capital that journalists with Olympics credentials will not need Chinese visas to enter the country. That sounds encouraging, but the actual rules for media coverage of the games have not been written.

该文不无忧虑的指出：美好的承诺，总是败给糟糕的管理。我倒是在想，外国记者到底是怎么上网的，怎么他们的就可以不走GFW呢?

按照我们国家的规矩，出差到另外一个城市三天就需要办理暂住证，否则就可能被救助。外国记者是不是也得来这么一下？

最近听说国家信访办布下口袋阵，前来上访的人，先排队几个小时，被信访办的人打发了之后，被要求从后门出去。出门之后就落入一个大陷阱，在警察的看管下，集体享受北京外来人口救助站的服务，然后被遣返。而且被遣返还要自己掏钱买火车票，没有钱的要在昌平拉沙子赚够了钱才能遣返。外国记者如果被救助，恐怕要拉个好几年沙子才能凑足国际机票钱啊。
