I've just sent an email to Dave Mitchell to express my feeling. The email is as follows:
_________________________________________________
Dear Mr.Mitchell,
I want to congratulate your program for having found a
talent like John Counsell who has really a lot
courages to talk about something that he might not
know -- in Chinese, we would say a person like
this(unfortunately, quite a few people are like this)
as "CHEERING THE CROWD"--"A Cheer Leader".
Everything will be fair in this world if we all follow
the "Big Brother"'s rules...to say what he says, to
feel what he feels...but don't think what he thinks.
John is doing well on this, otherwise, how he knows
that China has human right problems according to the
Western rules? has he been to China? even he has? how
well he knows China? I feel it's very funny, just like
cooking a meal, John was trying to cook a Chinese meal
without not knowing anything about it.
Of course, we can't blame on John, he need to do
something to live on, he just an employee.
I bet that he would NOT offence somebody or some
country that is not offencable(oops..maybe wrong
spelling, excuse my english is not good)in the future,
otherwise, he will have to make sincere appologies,
then resign from his position gracefully.
Sincerely yours,
