For more on the political protests that have been the top news story surrounding the trek of the Olympic flame on its way to the controversial Beijing Games, go to…pretty much any reputable news source you can think of. For a summary that ignores the protests’ existence in favor of a detailed discussion of the “sacred flame” in its “Journey of Harmony,” check out the Xinhua coverage. Gotta hand it to them: while most outlets would find it a challenge to make reports about rage-filled riots seem uplifting, Xinhua has managed to make its own coverage of the torch’s journey toward Beijing’s “extraordinary event” downright happy-go-lucky. Mad propa—er, props.
