Well, a slightly different perspective. With so much praise heaped on this, I hope my critique is not viewed as personal attacks.
I first read Rebecca's blog entry, then read the chat text in Chinese on anti-cnn, and finally listened to the whole recording from start to finish. It is interesting how the three different ways of delivery gave me slightly different impressions.
The blog entry was all right. It has always been my personal opinion based on reading her writings and her sessions at various conferences that Ms. MacKinnon has the flair of a single-issue and self-righteous activist. I am not saying the issues she likes to talk about are not important though, I just wish she could cut away what I perceive to be the all-knowing, "commie-ccp-can-do-no-good", democracy fan-girl club attitude a bit. (Disclaimer, I support the rule of law and democracy too). In that regard, I share the sentiment expressed by nobias above, though I do believe MacKinnon has good intentions.
I actually liked the chat text recorded by anti-cnn people. Overall, I think they did a great job. It is unfortunate that Rebecca's talk on 64 was not recorded there, though understandable, given the censorship and idiotic nanny that they are subject to.
After listening the whole recording, though, Rebecca came across to me as being pretty defensive, even evasive, constantly mentioning that she left CNN in 2001, and dancing around questions like how the western media deals with mistakes by saying nobody is perfect or some like that. She used Abu Graib as proof of "how the interests of the U.S. media and government often do not coincide". Bad example! In fact, American media got hold of shitload of evidence (images in CD-ROMs) for months and months before publishing that news. Only when the Aussies (I believe) got hold of it did Washington Post, NYT, CBS News do an about-face. Glenn Greenwald gives the best, by far, critique of American mainstream, in my opinion.
I was a bit surprised that when 德国之声 张丹红 was mentioned at first, Rebecca said she didn't know much about it, considering how much interest she has shown towards China-related news, although at the end of the recording she did say that it was all right for 张丹红 to express her opinions in a talk-show.
I simply don't understand why so much indignation toward anti-cnn. Sure there are idiotic firebrands on their forums, but I felt it has moderated quite a bit and seemed to be moving toward the middle. The US media and some expats in China likes to harp on the Fenqins, but for every Fenqin it caricatured, there is at least one equally, if not more vocal West worshipper trolling behind the GFW and shouting down dissidents. I think if the true objective is to promote freedom of speech and diversity of ideas, anti-cnn should be supported and encouraged, just like Al Jazeera should be supported and promoted, instead of being treated as enemy by the US government and deliberately bombed at in Baghdad. Watch The Control room for details. No, I don't equate anti-cnn to Al Jazeera.

呃，从一个稍微不同的角度说说我的看法。这里已经有这么多的赞扬了，我希望我的批评不要被视为人身攻击。
我首先看丽贝卡博客的总结，然后读anti-CNN网上的中文聊天，最后从头到尾听了整个录音。有趣的是三种不同的表达方法给了我略有不同的印象。
博客的总结没什么问题。基于阅读她的著作和她写的各种会议纪要，我个人一直觉得，麦康瑞女士具有单一问题的眼光，并自以为是的活跃分子。我并不是说她喜欢谈论的问题不重要，不过，我只是希望她能够去掉我觉察到的那种无所不知， “共产党-什么-都不能-做好” ，民主俱乐部女孩的态度。 （声明，我也支持法治和民主） 。在这方面，我同意楼上nobias的意见，尽管我相信麦康瑞的出发点是好的。
实际上我很喜欢anti-CNN网上的聊天文字记录。总的来说，我认为他们做的非常出色。不幸的是，丽贝卡谈到64没有记录下来，尽管这可以理解，因为他们要接受检查和愚蠢的保姆式照顾。
但是，听完整个录音，丽贝卡给我的感觉是做了我见过的最漂亮的防守，甚至回避，不断提到她2001年已经离开CNN，并围绕着问题起舞，比如回答西方媒体如何处理错误时说没有人是完美的类似的话。她用阿布格莱布监狱证明“美国媒体和政府的利益往往并不一致”。这是个坏例子！实际上，在发表该新闻之前很久，美国的媒体就已经掌握了大量的证据（存在CD - ROM的图片 ）。只有当澳大利亚（我相信）掌握了证据之后，华盛顿邮报，纽约时报，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网才改变态度。在我看来，格伦格林瓦德(Glenn Greenwald)做了目前为止最好的批判美国主流的报道。
当提到德国之声张丹红，丽贝卡说她不知道这事，考虑她对跟中国相关的新闻一向很有兴趣，我有点惊讶。虽然录音结束时她表示，张丹红有权利在一个脱口秀节目里表达她的意见。
我只是不明白为什么这么多人对anti-CNN愤慨。他们的论坛肯定有白痴煽动者，但是我觉得它已经缓和了很多，正走向中立。美国媒体和一些在华外籍人士喜欢喋喋不休地说愤青 ，但每一个被描画的愤青 ，至少有一个同样的西方崇拜者，在防火长城背后徘徊，大声嚷嚷不让不同政见者说话。我认为，如果真正的目标是促进言论自由和思想多元化，anti-CNN应得到支持和鼓励，就像半岛电视台应得到支持和提升，而不是被美国政府视为敌人，和在巴格达蓄意轰炸。具体内容去看纪录片"控制室Control Room"。不，我不是在把anti-CNN等同于半岛电视台。 |
