Spaced Out

More fakery from world leader on censorship and oppression. It was disclosed this week that China's state news agency published a dispatch from the country's three latest astronauts describing their first night in space before they had even left Earth.

Amazingly, the article described the Shenzhou VII space craft orbiting the Earth and even went so far as to outline a purported conversation between the astronauts.

The Xinhua agency, which has sometimes been accused of carrying state propaganda, took down the story and blamed it on a "technical error".
