In a stunning move of censorship today, Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China has decided to censor the inspiring story of the 70-year-old survivor of the Turkey earthquake. Jinping’s reasoning? He believes that the heroic story of Menekse Tabak is taking attention away from the all-important Arsenal vs. Brentford game which was taking place at the same time.
Jinping stated that, “This inspiring story of an elderly woman’s survival is only detracting attention from the real news, which is the Arsenal vs. Brentford match. We cannot have people putting their attention on anything other than the game; those are the rules. We need more of these stories to have more people talking about the game and not about the inspiring stories of everyday people.”
Jinping went on to add that, “We must make sure that stories like this stay out of the Chinese media, lest it distract people away from the important football matches. We can’t have people focusing their attention on anything else but the game, and if they do, they need to be punished.”
It’s clear that Jinping wants to make sure that the game takes priority over any other news. However, this decision has been met with a lot of criticism from people who feel that inspiring stories like Menekse Tabak’s should be shared and celebrated. It’s a reminder of the power of censorship and the importance of spreading stories about everyday people and their courage.
