I don't think that we should take this song at first degree, we must look deeper, and decode.
Maybe Roger wants to tell us how emotions and images are used to make people to react in one way, the way THEY (media) wants you to go.
They shows a dying "perfect woman" on tv, the immediate reaction of most of people think that it was an injustice (and maybe it was) Media tells you how to react (get out your guns, get out your knife ...)
Media uses emotions, not information, to make people react and to control mind, (as says biko2720 it's based on neil postman book, which tells how media control public opinion)
We know nothing of this woman, exept some details, but nothing about his past, in other circumstances, the same kind of image could be used to say that this woman was a terrorist or other
Notice that for Roger, it's not actual governement in china which is dictatorship, the dictator is Chiang Kai-shek who order to fire in the crowd (and not mao or another communist leader), who left china and build a commercial island (shoe factory, money rules), we know now that during tien an men, some disturbing events occurs (may be orchestrated by other "governement") and we know now for sure that orders have been sent by chinese governement during the "tien an men revolution" to NOT shoot at people.
"She's a victor star conceptually new" .... "She's symbolic of our failure" not THEIR failure (chinese)
I aggree that roger is fighting for human right, but not in china only or in supposed dictator state, but here,in our western country, he says beware of what is shown on tv, it's maybe manipulation, maybe dictatorship is in our countries... without noticing it, coz nobody show it to you.
Notice that all other "disasters" that are quoted are fruits of OUR western civilisation (boleyn, rosenberg, holocaust, nicaragua war dodo, kankabono, aztec, cherokee, he says that your are fooled, it's deception, coz we are at the origin of most mass murdering
