做人不能太CNN了！
Among western news media who covered the riots in Tibet earlierthis month, the US-based Cable News Network (CNN) was a markableone for its serious distortionofthe truth and betrayal ofbasic journalistic ethics. The so-called western mainstream mediaorganization posted a picture showing a bunch of people running infront of amilitary vehicle onthe street of Lhasa.However,Chinese netizens foundthat the right side of the original picture, which was cropped outby CNN, shows some rioters throwing stones at the vehicle. Theflying stones, burning motorcycles and insane mobsters throwingstones are still visible from the original picture。
三月早些时候，以美国CNN为代表的西方媒体在报道西藏事件时进行的严重歪曲事实报道，违背了新闻道德。所谓的“西方主流媒体”，在其一张拉萨街上一群人跑动图片进行报道。我国网民发现在源图片的右边：暴徒疯狂的向警车投砸石块，燃烧的摩托车，飞在空中的石块，仍然清晰可见。
But CNN editors just took it as nothing. They cut off the imagesthat can fully reflect vicious faces of the rioters. Thus theimplications of the picture published by CNN are just the oppositeto the fact. Their reports aroused great indignation from netizensall around China. Angered by the distorted coverage, they united tohit back at what they called "a conspiracy", even with a slogan“Man should never act as low as CNN”!
但是，CNN的编辑们对这些不当一回事儿。他们剪辑了暴露暴徒们嘴脸的部分，而报道的却是事情的反面。他们的报道激起了我国网民的愤慨。被激怒的网民回敬他们的“阴谋”的是一句话：“做人不能太CNN了！”
The slogan looks unfriendly, but expresses the anger of Chinesenetizens. A netizen said: “CNN had cropped the picture, cuttingoff the part showing rioters attacking military vehicles. This isdistortion of facts and can mislead the readers. What’s the motivebehind this?”Anothersaid:＂Chinese people can not neglect the evil ambitions behindthis.”“CNN’s hypocrisy andugliness was fully exposed by this biased report,” wrote anetizen.
这句话看起来似乎不太友好，但表达了网民朋友的气愤。有网民说：“CNN发表图片，却删去暴徒砸警车，这是歪曲事实，是对读者的误导。到底隐藏了什么阴谋？”另一网民说：“中国人不会容忍这些阴谋的得逞。”，“CNN的虚伪和丑陋在这篇报道中显露无余。”网民写道。
“The incident once again shows that: the western media areholding a biased attitude when reporting on China. They justignored the facts and look at the actions of the Chinese governmentin an fragmented and arbitrary way. This may have something to dowith their link to their respective governments. In addition, wecan see from this incident that the so-called freedom of pressadvocated by western countries has underlying political motives.There is no ‘pure freedom of press‘ at all，” a netizensaid.
这次事件再一次表明，西方媒体对中国的报道仍然存在偏见。他们忽略事件本身，而关注我国政府采取行动的片断和专制的一面。这可能同他们的政府有关；还有，从这次事件中，我们能够西方鼓吹的出版自由具有的真正政治动机。他们根本就没有什么真正的：“出版自由”。
Besides CNN, a number of other Western media also distorted thetruth in covering the riots. On March 17, the British BroadcastingCorporation (BBC) released a picture on i ts website showing Chineseriot police officers helping medical staff carry a wounded personinto an ambulance. The caption on the website said “There is aheavy military presence in Lhasa”. British newspaper the Timesuses words such as “military crackdown”, “violent control”, and“hundreds Tibetans were killed” in its coverage to distort thetruth.
除了CNN之外，还有西方的其他媒体在报道西藏事件的过程中也歪曲事实。3月17日，BBC在其网站上发表一幅中国警察协助医疗人员把伤者抬上救护车的图片。其标题是《拉萨发生严重军事冲突》。同样，英国的《时代》用了“军事镇压”，“武力镇压”和“数百西藏人被杀害”等歪曲事实的字眼在他们的报道中。
On Marth 18, the German newspaper Berlin Morgenpost posted apicture on its website in which police in Lhasa rescued a young manof Han nationality assaulted by rioters. But the caption distortedthe fact as "insurrectionist taken away by police."
3月18日，德国柏林《莫根日报》在其网站报道一幅警察营救一名被达赖集团打伤汉族的汉族青年，但是它的标题却是：《暴乱分子被警察带走了》。
The American Fox TV said in a picture's caption on its website thatthe Chinese military dragged some protesters onto a vehicle, butactually the uniformed people were Indian police.
美国FOX TV在其网站上说一张图片，中国军队把暴乱分子带上警车，但从制服来看却是印度警察。
German news television N-TV used a picture and a video sequencetaken in Nepal’s capital Kathmandu of Nepalese police arrestingprotestors in a report about the riots in Tibet.
德国新闻电视N-TV用了在尼泊尔加德满都拍摄的警察逮捕暴乱分子的照片和录象，说成是西藏事件。
A netizen commented: “Some western media have constantlydenigrated China in their reports and created ‘news’ out ofnothing.“
一个网民说：“有的西方媒体在中国报道方面不断诋毁事实和捏造新闻”。
“The western media must have some hidden objectives in creatingthese distorted reports on the incident,” a Chinese wrote.
“西方媒体在歪曲事实的时候，必然隐藏着不可告人的目的。”，有人写道。
“Due to deep-rooted prejudice and different values, theself-esteemed ‘objective’ western media always cover news onChina with bias and sometimes even prejudice,” said a netizen.
“由于固有的歧视和不同的价值观，西方媒体自持的客观在中国新闻的报道方面存在偏见甚至有时是歧视”一个网民道。
“How could western media call their reports completely ‘objectiveand justice’ when reporting on other countries’ interior affairsbased on their own ideology and perspective?” a netizen noted.
“在报道别国内政事务上用自己的意识形态和观点，怎么可以说西方媒体所倡导的完全客观和公正呢”一个网民说。
It has been two weeks since the Tibet riots happened and lots ofrioters have turned themselves in. However, Chinese people have notfully recovered from the aftershock of the CNN’s biasedreports.
西藏事件已经过去了两个星期，许多暴徒已经自首。但是，中国人民还未完全从CNN的报道影响中恢复过来。
Chinese people, especially its vast number of netizens can notforget easily what the so-called western media’s ethic principlesare. Today, whenever netizens found things unjust or biased, theywould just say “Man should never act as low as CNN !”
中国人民，特别是广大网民不会轻易忘记西方所谓的“新闻道德”。现在，网民朋友不管何时遇到不公平和不公正待遇时，他们只会说“做人不要太CNN了”。
