but why do you expect them (national geographic or any euro-western journal) to represent your point of view (even if yours may be scientifically more acurate, in this case)????

solution: raise funds to support your own scientific institutions, journals and media outlets. it's all about winning the hearts and minds in this global fight for dominance (or turf warfare).
