Chinese readers, I think, are used to the idea that what they see in print has an agenda, and that one must read between the lines to figure out what might really be going on, to a greater extent than Americans.

Stories you'd expect to see in Weekly World News are mainstream newspaper fare. Yetis, two-headed space aliens, the works. Does Ed Anger (publisher of WWN) have an agenda? Actually, yes. His attitude is, you can't believe what you read, so just do as you're told. Not so different from China's, really.
