Now it's obvious that Chinese media is a complete farce. It's state controlled and blatantly so. But i also have to wonder if our western media isn't exactly the same but just smarter about it? Sure it isn't blatant like Pravda or China Daily but our western media still seems to reach for the same goals as Pravda and China Daily would. From getting people behind support of a war to excusing completely unjustifiable actions. Our media seems no better, just smarter and less blatant. Probably makes our media more dangerous than theirs to be honest.
Why is it obvious that the Chinese media is a complete farce? Have you ever read the chinese media? Or did you come to your conclusion based on what you read in the western media (which according to you, might also be a complete farce) Maybe the chinese media is slicker at propaganda than you think and their readers think that the western media is the real farce.
You don't like it cos you are probably eating it the wrong way.
You are supposed to:

2) lick / suck the rest of the coating off the biscuit stick
3) nibble the softened bread stick

Don't feel too bad there mate. Us TA's normally don't concern ourselves with deciphering handwriting anyway. Generally we mark assignments quickly between rounds at the pub, in reality your grade is based on a roll of a dice and two coin-flips not the content of your essay.

Personally, I refuse to use things like Facebook because why should I allow anyone to regulate how I can interact with my friends.
Despite the fact that Facebook makes it easier for you to interact with your friends? Your refusal to take 2 minutes to sign up for facebook means that your friends have to take the extra effort (that is, if they bother) of emailing you pictures that they have already posted on facebook.
Your pointless objection achieves nothing beyond the creation of unnecessary hassle for your friends.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. -- Winston Churchill
