The Global Times, 15 Sep 2011A Singapore-based Chinese-language newspaper Wednesday admitted to wrongly using a headline a week ago to attract more readers – one that has since caused a public backlash in Shanghai against the host of International Channel Shanghai's (ICS) Amazing Race: China Rush reality TV series.
Sam Ng, city news editor of Shin Min Daily News, stopped short of apologizing for the error printed on September 7, but admitted that headlining host Allan Wu as saying: "You don't have to be polite to all Shanghai people" – was in hindsight poor judgment.
"Our paper intended to write an eye-catching headline for the article without indicating that Wu dislikes Shanghai people," Ng told the Global Times Wednesday. "We're aware of the public outcry in Shanghai, and we plan to interview Wu soon to let him tell his side of the story." Full story
