    I think their credibility and reputation are slightly more important to them than reporting a completely false incident which would do very little for their political agenda and would be almost guaranteed lose them millions of customers and possibly close down the paper.

    I'm not sure what you're saying. You don't think people buy a particular newspaper because they trust the journalists?

    10 minutes? No thanks. It looks like a piece of shitty journalism. So what?

    The fact that journalism is generally shitty doesn't negate the fact that people buy newspapers because they believe what they are reading is true. Credibility and reputation matter - look at the News of the World scandal.

    BACK ON TOPIC:
    Jampel Yeshi La died this morning. I wanted to keep you all updated. Om mani padme hum.
    if you want to read an article about it, here you go: http://phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=31154&article=Jamphel+Yeshi+passes+away


    Also I was passed on a letter Jampel Yeshi La wrote on the 16th of March explaining his reasons to set himself on fire for the Tibet cause. I am in the process of trying to figure out how to post it...

    good, I'm glad you found it.

    I am unable to copy the words in the image, I'm not too tech savvy though :( I saved the document to my computer, but I'd prefer to not have to upload it from my comp. I may write it word for word later this weekend, we shall see. I'm still hoping with some time it may be posted on a website so i can just link.

    PLEASE WATCH THIS!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVZ_lLUIIyU"]Waking Life - Self Destructive Man - YouTube

    The movie is called "Waking Life" and this clip really portrays what the Tibetans are trying to do; they burn themselves to show that they can withstand the pain and agony of killing oneself to try and inform the world of it's inhumanity.
