Nowadays most media promotes consumerism, some do it nakedly.
South China Morning Post gave a glowing report of plans by a caviar (魚子醬) restaurant to open a branch in Hong Kong ("Blueblood of caviar has trust in taste of HK elite", Sunday Morning Post 21 September 2008), without mentioning that the sturgeons (鱘魚) from which the caviar is obtained are fast approaching extinction and that sturgeon have been known to be contaminated with mercury which damages the brain annd reproductive system of mammals by interfering with sperm formation.
A friend of mine wrote to the Post to draw their attention to this, and the newspaper is now inviting comment. Write to the Post (letters@scmp.com) also and let them know what you think.
