Talk:Greg Sheridan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] POV
While I also dislike Greg Sheridan's politics and writings (particularly over Indonesia and East Timor) intensely, I don't believe that this paragraph is at all appropriate for Wikipedia. Quiensabe 23:31 UTC 18 June 2005
He is somewhat a hypocrite who presents his views in aggressive, almost rude language. Countries that he has a personal liking for such as Japan, Indonesia, and his personal love of Taiwan turns him into a vandal of other countries he dislikes, such as the People's Republic of China. For instance, he idealises Taiwan as a paradise, calling it the only Chinese democracy in the world when Taiwanese separatists deliberately vandalise their Chinese heritage, and he insists that Chinese bitterness over Japanese wartime atrocities are merely a political game. Greg Sheridan epitomises journalism at its worst and most evil. His bias is most revolting when he writes as if he is in support of human rights and morality, yet at the same time he criticised Australia for freeing East Timor from years of Indonesian oppression, but then goes around trying to destroy peace in East Asia.
