Not just bias, but sometimes a propaganda piece. One side of the story, often the most significant one is left out. It is funded by the state of Qatar to act as its mouthpiece. In the Islamic world every country legitimizes itself by trying to sound more islamic than the other. I am just stating that they may be strongly biased. They do make crisp documentaries and interesting news stories.
Could you link a biased story? I would put their bias on par with CNN, but would like a story to see what you mean. What is a good example?

SCMP was created by "western" anti-chinese propagandists. "The journal was founded by Australian-born anti-Qing dynasty revolutionary Tse Tsan-tai and British journalist Alfred Cunningham" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Morning_Post It's strange you think it is something to be recommended pre-alibaba, but not something to be recommended post-alibaba.
How is Tse Tsan-tai a western, anti-chinese propagandist? He was a collaborator w/ Sun Yat-sen. I realize the two drew influence from western ideals (and christianity), but wonder what makes them anti-chinese. That the Chinese government praised Sun Yat-sen, and printed a commemorative coin for his 150th birthday, seems at odds with your sentiment. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2016-10/25/content_271713...

"Born in Grafton, New South Wales, to a "patriotic" Chinese, Tse Yat-cheong (謝日昌), Tse Tsan-tai was baptised James See on 1 November 1879."

When I wrote anti-chinese, I meant at the time - qing china. And the SCMP was created by a british "journalist" and Tse specifically to push anti-chinese propaganda at that time.

Why? The CCP can choose to celebrate parts of sun yat-sen's legacy which aligns with their own ideology - especially the destruction of china's feudal system. Also, you can praise sun yat-sen as a larger part of reincorporating taiwan back to the mainland.
We celebrate Robert E. Lee, does it make the US anti-US? Hell in the 1970s, the US celebrate Mao and Deng in order to grow our relationship. Doesn't make the US pro-communist.

Ah, okay. I read your original post as critical of scmp as anti Chinese today, but am not sure if that's what you meant now.
