Headlines:
No Pecan Pie? Thank China, Rain and Pigs
Bye, bye American pie? China wants in on the U.S. apple market.

Commentary:
So American apples had a record bad year last year and start to import some 
apples from all over the world.  Must be China's fault!
American pecans are increasing in prices,  China demands pecans, so must be 
China's fault as well!

The media gets into the blame-China-for-everything habit. Look how Kimmel 
blamed the US government shutdown on the Chinese debt, when we owe the whole
world more than 20x more than the Chinese. And the kids's response is "Kill
all the Chinese".    When Japan and China are in a spat over 2 grains of 
rice, The media just automatically lose neutrality and start berating China 
and won't stop till they find America in war over that 2 grains of rice.   
Both US and China will lose, and the Japanese right wing,  will be the only 
one laughing.

Media was complicit in the WMD scandal leading to Iraq war as well. The real
headline is:
Byebye American Credibility and Byebye to Peace.
