Simply not professional reportage. Most disturbingly, several of her questions questioned the validity of the ongoing cultural genocide in Tibet, which has been documented and reported on exhaustively for decades now. In doing so, Montague implicitly endorsed the oppressive, anti-Tibetan propaganda of the People’s Republic of China. For shame.
