Wild South China Tiger extinct in the Wild after 30 years…..
Web portals thrive on the constant and careful fanning of debate over such scandals as “ Tigergate ” about a Chinese farmer’s photo of a wild south china tiger. according to Juliet Ye of the wall street journal, last Fall , a farmer in china’s Shaanxi province spied a wild south china tiger, believe to be extinct, and snapped a picture of it. the photo spread like a wildfire on the Chinese Internet. Tigergate is just one of several Chinese Internet scandals that have stirred up to attention recently.
One government official’s tiger blog alone was visited by more than a million people. some people who suspected the photo was fake became “tiger fighters” insisted both the image and the tiger were authenticate. It’s now a predictable pattern that china’s portals amplify and orchestrate the incident for public consumption, driving traffic to their sites.
