一个高手网友对一楼的网友二的回答做了一些编辑,请站方使用下面的编辑过的帖子:
From the widely viewed youtube video, we have seen how western medi
a have made biased reporting and used false videos or pictures as evidences
to cover up the violence of Tibetan mob and attack Chinese goverment's Tibet
policy. CNN was not singled out for criticisms for its biased reporting of
this events. With the efforts of oversea Chinese, more and more details of
the truth about the so-called "peaceful protest" have been uncovered. Most
western media have admitted their mistakes and made statements to correct
their factual mistakes. Yet, CNN has this statement insisting its reporting
is "accurate and impartial" and they reflects "a wide range of opinions on
this story".
Let's look at the rebuttal from CNN. First of all, CNN takes it for granted
that it can crop images and claims that they have shown all sides of this
story. As a credited media, it is inappropriate to make any revision to the
original pictures under any circumstances. No matter what the caption is,
the cropped picture completely changed the implication of the original
content and was intended to mislead the readers.
Secondly, CNN, as a reputed media as it claims, incorrectly referenced Tibet
as a coutry in reports numerous times. And they brush it aside as simple
mistakes. This is not the attitude that a reputed media should have. It is a
pathetic attempt to cover the fact that it distorts the truth of Tibetan
violence.
As a unique media that insists the untruthful report, it is no doubt that CN
N has reported the Tibet story subjectively in favor of violence of Tibetan
mob and lost all journalistic integrity.
In short, CNN is a laughing stock to the world.
另外,下面是另外一个网友在前面基础上写的帖子:
It's glad to know that CNN has realized the tremendously negat
ive publicity it had earned itself over the Internet recently,
and it has abandoned its usual "keep silent" way of dealing w
ith credibility charges by putting out a statement clearing it
self on its Tibet coverage, which had been criticized for dist
orting facts and taking side by many bloggers and news agencie
s all over the world. The pressure must have been huge that CN
N the experienced defendant against credibility accusations (n
umber speaks, googling "CNN lies" returns 653,000 results, mor
e than double of the 305,000 results for "Spitzer prostitution
", the hottest news this year) has to respond.
As witnesses of the false reports from CNN, we recognize the e
ffort CNN makes to polish its stained image, however, we find
the statement in whole an evasive piece trying to make excuses
. We feel pity for CNN again being such a dishonest and unapol
ogetic agency.
Taking a quick look at what CNN has to say, one will find CNN'
s excuse for cropping picture laughable. Web based publication
has great deal of freedom in presenting multimedia materials
including pictures. CNN could have posted the picture in its e
ntirety while moving text to the rest of the area without any
trouble at all. Web pages are not printed materials, resizing
and reframing paragraphs are virtually costless and effortless
. In fact, after being attacked for cropping the picture, CNN
modified the page to put a zoomed out version of the entire or
iginal photo, without having to move text format at all. Then
why did CNN need to crop it in the first place? Also, CNN argu
es in the statement that the picture was captioned "Tibetans t
hrow stones", then by what motive would a rational editor crop
out the exact part of people throwing stones? No excuse can p
ossibly be found to justify the discrepancy between what CNN d
id and what CNN claims.
Besides, CNN's factual mistakes are not limited to the picture
or calling Tibet as a country. During it TV airing until as l
ate as March 21st, when multiple sources had confirmed Tibet r
iot violent and deadly, CNN anchors repeated called Tibetan tu
rbulence a "peaceful protest". It was exceptionally misleading
and was a major distortion of fact. Even after www.anti-CNN.c
om had published the mistakes of CNN and other news outlets, L
ou Dobbs of CNN continued to use the same wrong descriptions i
n his TV program. Even an unprofessional team would not be a s
trong excuse to make up for this.
CNN also repetitively refused to identify the dead as victims
of the riot, and in their context spread the impression that t
hey were protestors left dead by government actions, while in
fact, they were murdered by those CNN-called "peaceful protest
ers".
CNN's distortions and lies are not sparse editorial or technic
al mistakes. They are consistent and still on-going, in favor
of one side of the story.
In addition, CNN has in its reports repetitively excluded Tibe
tan ethnics from the Chinese. This is unacceptable. It is just
similar to calling African American and Caucasian American as
Blacks and American.
While the German new agency RTL had quickly acknowledged and a
pologized for its mistake after bbs.m4.cn pointed it ou
t, professionals in journalism at CNN still refuse to acknowle
dge mistakes and redeem trust. We have to say, the denial issu
ed today was just a weak and pathetic attempt to weasle away f
rom the systematic lying campaign CNN had conducted in the pas
t weeks.
希望站方能尽快提出对CNN声明的应对。我们都在翘首以盼。 |
