Nope man, I said there are paid medias reports in democratic countries whenever it comes to defending the foreign relations of the country. e.g. Middle East related news in USA or any West European countries are almost paid, coz they all are serving their nation. But when there is a case of domestic news report there are very few cases of paid news report. Hence I used the "Partially" free. Unlike some of the communist country.
Sorry, you have no clues know media work in our wonderful democracy.

“Free Media" is not free after all.
At least every Chinese knows China media is not "free media", and Chinese government has never pretended to be one. The worse thing than "state media", is a state media poised to be "Free Media".
Heck , i watched BBC but on the other hand China government owned the media .

In USA she was the most unfortunate girl happened to around every major terror incident.
Was the Same Woman at the Aurora, Sandy Hook, and Boston Tragedies?

An image circulating online claims to show the same woman at three different tragedies: The Aurora, Colorado theater shooting, the Sandy Hook shooting, and the Boston Bombing.

The claim is false.
The identities of all three women are known, and they are not the same person. Let’s take a look at the image being circulated, the claim associated with it, and the identities of the women in the photos.
Aurora Shooting
The woman in the photograph is Amanda Medek. Some press photos taken of her sitting on a flight of steps included the caption, “Amanda Medek, who is looking for her sister Micayla, sits outside Gateway High School, Friday July 20, 2012, in Aurora, Colo.”

Sandy Hook Shooting
The woman shown in the Sandy Hook photo above is Carlee Soto, who had just learned that her sister Vicky Soto was dead. A caption for the iconic photo read: Carlee Soto learns that her sister Vicky Soto is among those killed in the school shooting.

Boston Bombing
The official caption for the image being circulated stated: Emma MacDonald and two friends were photographed at a vigil for the Boston victims.
We could not locate a candid of Emma MacDonald, but below is are two images of her snapped at the Boston vigil:
Update: Paris 2015
Hours after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015, a variation of the graphic above circulated on social media with the addition of another woman, who is now said to have attended all four tragedies. One caption read, “Damn, one unlucky girl.. Seems she was in Paris last night.. Sandy Hook during the school shooting and Boston during the marathon bombings… Coincidence or professional paid government actor?”
As with the original version of the graphic, someone has merely taken the image of a crying young woman with brown-hair and labeled it as “proof” that the same woman was at all four tragedies. The woman in the Paris photo has not been identified. Press captions of the photo merely describe it in the following manner: “Rescuers evacuate people following an attack in the 10th arrondissement of the French capital Paris.”
Because the three women in the original were identified as different individuals, it would be impossible for the woman in the Paris photo to be all three of them.
Here is a more complete discussion regarding claims that “no video exists” of the attacks.
Bottom Line
The same woman was not photographed at four different tragedies. The images show different women who were each photographed crying at different events. The identities of the first three women are known, while the fourth woman has yet to be identified. A cursory resemblance and similarities in the expressions of the four women were used to make this easily disputed claim.

Exactly. The Western media is state-friendly corporate media, by and large. Instead of the state media in other polities who care about state interests, Western state-friendly corporate media has to care about both regime (not-state) and corporate interests. Hence, we may call Western corporate media as fascist (because of their regime-oriented corporatism, or vice versa).

That's why most Americans are so damn stupid and ignorant when it comes to whatever happens outside US. Being fed with fake crap on daily basis, what else do you expect from them.

The obvious example is that when Chinese people first visit US, they think the country is just like what they thought about it. but when Americans first visit China, most of them are totally shocked, eye popping and jaw dropping, that's nothing like what US media tells them about China on a daily basis at all.
