你是否会相信匿名的“可靠来源”的消息：“2月10日周五凌晨2:45分，几名身份不明的男子闯入朝鲜最高领导人金正恩的住处将其暗杀。” 朝鲜驻北京使馆外有可疑的交通形势，而这个解释刚好说明了这个问题：在新浪微博上这条消息被转发了10000多次。一个人还上传了看起来像金正恩被捕的照片。另一个人评论称“在这个奇怪的国家，这甚至不奇怪。”
被严控的中国媒体环境使得微博流言更容易被人信任，这比其对手推特而言更易被人信任。在涉及到敏感问题时中国媒体的报道会故意模糊化，而且中国的读者很清楚这一点。 中国官方对朝鲜的报道也往往远离事实，甚至比不上报道自身政治进程的方式（我最喜欢的一份英文报道是新华社比较平壤和纽约东京的夜生活）。而且朝鲜本身也是个谜：其实美国关于其的很多报道也都依靠流言和道听途说来胡编乱造一个完整的国家形象。 所有这些因素加起来使得新浪微博的流言肆虐起来，最开始是一个随机用户粉丝数不到200的人发布的，但却在中国的互联网上有着足够的吸引力来造谣并迅速上了福布斯、微软全国广播公司和赫芬顿邮报的页面。 尽管这件事情不怎么靠谱，但是这位微博用户很有可能打破了在朝鲜成功政变的故事。我最喜欢来自莫斯科《独立报》的记者肖恩·沃克在推特上的解释，“有可能的是有人说他‘被大桶的全家桶炸鸡块暗杀了’，但是肯定在翻译中少了些什么。”
Your news, should you choose to believe it, came in from unnamed "dependable sources:" "On the morning of February 10th at 2:45 pm, unknown persons broke into the residence of the highest leader North Korea Kim Jong En and shot him dead." Suspicious traffic patterns had been seen outside of the North Korean embassy in Beijing, and this explanation, it appears, seems as good as any: Users of China's Sina Weibo, the local Twitter clone, forwarded the message more than 10,000 times. One user posted a picture of what Kim Jong Unwould look like arrested. Another commented "in this weird country, that's not even strange." The chained Chinese media universe means that Weibo rumors are a lot more trusted than their Twitter counterparts. Chinese media coverage of sensitive subjects is often deliberately obfuscating, and Chinese viewers know it. A few days ago, Wang Lijun, one of China's best known gangbusters and the right-hand man of powerful politician Bo Xilai appeared to try to defect at the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu. While official Chinese media covered the defection, they mostly copied the official Xinhua report, which failed to mention the most important point: how it affects Bo's chances of promotion. Chinese official media reporting on North Korea is often further removed from reality than the way China reports on its own political process. (My favorite English-language example is a Xinhua article that compares nightlife in Pyongyang with New York and Tokyo.) Besides, North Korea itself is a black box: Even the best American articles often depend on rumors and hearsay to cobble together a portrait of the closed country. All these factors combine to give the Sina Weibo rumor -- started, it appears, by a random user with less than 200 followers -- enough traction in China to land on this side of the world wide web and into the pages of Forbes, MSNBC, and Huffington Post. It is possible that this Weibo user broke the story of a successful coup in North Korea, though it's extremely unlikely. My favorite explanation on the Twitter side of things comes from Shaun Walker, the Moscow correspondent for the Independent, who wrote "Possible that someone said he 'murdered an enormous family-sized bucket of fried chicken,' and something got lost in translation."
