Next Media Animation of Taiwan is staying at the vanguard of coverage of the Bloomberg News self-censorship saga.
It has posted its second take on the scandal — which, of course, Bloomberg says is not a scandal.
Top Bloomberg editors have denied killing a story on a Chinese tycoon and his ties to Communist Party leaders for political reasons, despite accounts from several Bloomberg employees that that was the case.
What Bloomberg has undeniably done, though, is suspend a prize-winning reporter, Michael Forsythe, who was working on the story.

The suspension took place after Bloomberg employees spoke anonymously to The New York Times and other media organizations about the troubled story.
The new video gives a colorful rundown of the latest events, complete with a shot of Mr. Forsythe as the iconic Tank Man from 1989 and the bow-tie-wearing editor in chief of Bloomberg News, Matthew Winkler, driving a tank down Chang’an Avenue in Beijing.
China-based journalists who have been reporting on the uproar over self-censorship also appear in the video, putting them on par, perhaps, with Tiger Woods in the pantheon of Taiwanese animation.

But there seems to be a broad consensus that the avatar of the Times correspondent bears little resemblance to this reporter.
