Question: (CNN) You have to love the exquisite timing, at the very least. Our ears are still ringing from the concussive noises and boycott threats after a second consecutive year of all-white Academy Awards nominees were announced only days ago. Now comes the disclosure that Joseph Fiennes, a white actor best known for playing the title role in the 1998 Oscar winner "Shakespeare in Love," has been cast to play another artistic icon: Michael Jackson. No, this website didn't just morph into The Onion before your eyes. These are the facts: The British-based Sky Arts cable channel is scheduled to broadcast a road movie speculating on what might have happened if, as urban legend has it, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando and Michael Jackson, who were all in New York when the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, drove together back to Los Angeles.Gene Seymour: White actor Joseph Fiennes will play Michael Jackson in British dramedy. This is an outrageous decision on many levelsHe says Jackson was a real person, unlike James Bond. Suggestions of Bond being played by black actor caused uproar

Answer: So far, it's hard to find anybody willing to speculate as to how Michael Jackson himself would feel about a white _ actor assuming his persona for dramatic purposes.


Question: (CNN) -- Chinese media on Wednesday played up the positives in Xi Jinping's visit to Washington, avoiding mention of U.S. criticism of human rights but broaching issues of trade and U.S. discontent with the strength of the Chinese currency. A commentary in the official China Daily said U.S. President Barack Obama was deflecting criticism of his own domestic political problems by drawing attention to the rivalry over the currencies, but that the U.S. administration had little heart for an open fight over the issue. "When the Senate was about to vote on a bill to punish 'currency manipulators' last fall, the White House put it off with strong words and possibly behind-the-scene political maneuvers," the newspaper said in a commentary.Chinese media plays up positives of Xi's U.S. visitMuted commentary on issues such as human rights and SyriaChinese media says Obama deflecting criticism of his domestic policies

Question: (CNN) -- The spending bill which funds almost all of the government through September 30, 2015, has a lot of moving parts and special provisions. There's more money to fight Ebola and less money for the IRS. The District of Columbia is prohibited from legalizing marijuana. But the most important part -- and the most disturbing -- is the repeal of a banking regulation provision passed under the Dodd-Frank law after the financial and economic meltdown of 2008. In Washington, Wall Street is back in charge. And once Republicans get full control of Congress in January, they will relentlessly attack the financial regulations that help to prevent banks from putting the economy and taxpayers at risk.Congress passed a spending bill that repealed a critical rule in the Dodd-Frank lawRick McGahey: Essentially, it means Wall Street is back in chargeRepeal of provision means risk of banks' transactions will be passed to taxpayers, he saysMcGahey: Repeal provision was basically from a memo written by lobbyists for Citibank

Answer:
