But their failure to cook up a better story is not because they didn't try, but because they are by nature clumsy hiding the smoking gun.
And we have to give credit to the Internet and its online sleuths and self-appointed jury for refusing to let a suspicious case die in a hastily reached verdict. The media shone a light on it, the public raised questions, higher authorities were alerted, and many a travesty of justice was averted at the last minute.
Which is cause for both joy and frustration. It is possible to have justice in our society, but at what cost? Why does it have to be so difficult? With each of these episodes, more people lose their confidence in the system. The paradoxical use of a transitive verb is the satirical approach by which the public vents its helplessness and criticizes the abuse of power.
If this topic is too heavy, let's change to something lighter. In a recent survey to gauge public contentment, Beijing edged out Shanghai and became China's "happiest city".
The poll was done by installing a set of smiley faces and a crying face at 10 bus stops in each city. If a passerby felt happy, he or she should press the smiley face. Of the 820,000 Beijingers who participated, 56.06% pressed the smiley face.
Researchers found that the buttons near a park had more happy pressers while those near a hospital had more unhappy ones. That makes sense. Only the methodology sounds more entertaining than scientific, which yielded the term "bei happy". What if someone kept pressing one button to distort the data?
