In recent weeks, Western press coverage has substantially changed in tone from earlier, one-sided demonized versions. One article today which, while still criticizing Beijing on human rights + Tibet issues, concludes there is another side of the Olympics story yet to be heard.
Telegraph: New China basks in golden glow of Olympics

It is good that different viewpoints are now proliferating in the mainstream Western media. These different viewpoints were always in the Western media, however — just not the _mainstream_ media.

A small group of foreigners complaining about Tibet is hardly China’s real problem.
