...some 90% of respondents to a Chinese website survey disagreed, insisting that the dragon should remain the traditional Chinese icon.

Headline writers are f%cking douchbags. There is no "fiery debate" when 90 percent of a pool of people are in accord with eachother about a particular issue.

The media sucks. All of it.
