Bloomberg accused of censoring itself in China Anonymous staff told The New York Times that the editors shut down the story, claiming it had "no smoking gun" and did not add to previous reports. Matthew Winkler, Bloomberg's editor in chief, reportedly said "If we run the story, we'll be kicked out of China." Sales of Bloomberg terminals, which provide news and financial information, have slowed while the company's website has been blocked on Chinese servers for over a year. Bloomberg has even filtered the stories that flash up on terminals in China, the staff say. Mr Winkler denied the story had been spiked. What you have is untrue. The stories are active and not spiked," he said.
