His large expensive Swiss watch is a clue to the meticulous and punctual obsessions of the typical great Western journalist. We look at our own cheap Chinese watches with disgust. His notebook which he throws casually on the table looks like it was hand-made by elves for a king, all leather-bound and important looking. We’re taking notes on cheap school notebooks with Bic pens. No wonder nobody takes us seriously us non-Western journalists. ...And we could go on and on and on, but to be fair that’s what end of year Western journalist award parties are for and we don’t want to eclipse their self-congratulatory carnivals of own-back patting. The fact is the Western journalist is the best. The Western journalist is special. All others should stop trying. Like not literally, we need you for those missions that are too dangerous to send in an actual Western journalist, but just know your place. And get better pens already.
