Lest We Forget - Tiananmen Square protests of 1989

Is it just me or are NBC and most all of the other news outlets doing a great job of ignoring the hundreds or thousands of PRO-DEMOCRACY and freedom loving students and activists that were slaughtered in Tiananmen Square back some 19 years ago? Several times I've heard, "They've changed a lot since then."

Oh really?

I tend to think that a government who will fake passports for underage gymnasts, shut down non-conforming internet sites, detain journalists and treat intellectual property like it is theirs for the taking probably hasn't changed all THAT much.
