Airbrushing the Politburo
There was absolutely nothing remarkable or special about the way this downsizing happened ... but it would have been covered in The Star as if it was the Rape of Nanking if any other local employer had done it.
When The Star does something it's "standard operating procedure" for all companies ... but when other companies do it, it's evil, wicked, capitalist greed.
I hate to admit this but I am happy to see The Star being eaten up piece by piece, as if by leprosy ... it looks great on them.
