I added "according to" a few days ago when I first saw this because I was rather incredulous. I also could not find this in the LA Times when I searched. I have several reasons for disbelieving the accuracy of this citation. |

: First, NTDTV may be run largely by practitioners, but Falun Gong and NTDTV are institutionally separate. Funding sources I know of for NTDTV are ads and its yearly gala. If any Falun Gong association really gave NTDTV money, I find it difficult to believe there was not a business reason for it, as practitioners view Epoch group media as separate (financially and organizationally) from Falun Gong, and would know to treat them as such. This citation does not address any such reasoning, or explain alternate reasoning. |

: Second, Li Hongzhi lives in New York, not Chicago. |

: Third, according to the principles Li teaches, supernormal abilities are not to be displayed in public. In teaching Falun Dafa, I know of no exceptions made for his own except for a few conventions and fairs and such where he and some practitioners had a booth for qigong healing in order to promote Falun Dafa. Displaying a supernormal ability like this one makes no sense. |

::https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view - the content removed violates the neutral point of view policy. Misplaced Pages is not a venue for personal opinion based bias. The content is opinion based and the citation sources are themselves opinion based. There is no value in putting personal political perspectives on here as it will just lead to edit warring on any subject that has any political underpinning at all. If you want to claim that Tim Pool is a right wing activist you need to cite a quote from him to that affect. Anything else is just opinion and/or conjecture. ] (]) 18:08, 1 August 2024 (UTC) |
