http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-cnn
Anti-cnn.com[1]is a website established by Jin Rao, a 23-year-old Chinese student, inresponse to what it claims as "the lies and distortions of facts fromthe Western media" concerning the 2008 Tibetan unrest and the People's Republic of China's national unity. The site says that its purpose is to "collect, classify, and exhibit the misbehaviors of Western media".[2] According to the website, the phrase "anti-cnn" does not exclusively indicate its objection to the American company CNN, but also to many other Western media sources, including the BBC, Der Spiegel, La Repubblica, n-tv, Bild, Fox News Channel and RTL.The website also states, "We are not against the western media, butagainst the lies and fabricated stories in the media. We are notagainst the western people, but against the prejudice from the westernsociety."In the wake of the riots, western world journals had publisheddozens of pictures purporting to show the brutality of Chinese policein Tibet. Many of these pictures are reproduced at anti-cnn, whereclose scrutiny of the photos shows that in reality they are falselylabeled shots not from Tibet but of police actions in India and Nepal.
Anti-cnn also called attention to the fact that western media hadfrequently implied that it was the Chinese police, and not the rioters,who had killed people. Estimates of the death numbers were positionedalongside phrases like 'Chinese crackdown', giving the false impressionthat the Chinese authorities, not the rioters, were the source of theinjuries and killings.
Jin was invited to attend an interview show by the China Central Televisionin the programme of Oriental Horizon (东方时空). The title of the show was"Warning to CNN: why the Chinese Internet folks got angry."(正告CNN：中国网民为何愤") During the interview, Jin said that he had establishedthe site "to expose the facts, to make the facts publicized to as manypeople as possible." The site now claims about 500,000 visits per day,60% of which are from China.[3]
A Washington Postreport detailing Chinese reactions to Western coverage quoted Jin assaying that more than 1,000 people have e-mailed him, volunteering tospot distorted reports in western media. A Chinese analyst said thatprotests may only push Chinese government to adopt a more hard-lineposition. The report ended with a comment from Michael Pettis, aprofessor of management, which said "as China becomes a world power,there is going to be a lot more scrutiny and criticism. Just asAmericans have learned to deal with it, the Chinese are going to haveto learn to deal with it. My hope is that after the anger there will besome reflection on the complexity of these issues."[4]
Some of the media accused of making distorted reports have givenreplies. CNN made a formal response to the charges of the cropping ofcover pictures and mismatching captions, but asserted that theselection of material was "appropriate for the editorial context, andwill not cause any confusion".[5]Der Spiegel mentioned the site in an editorial, where it referred tothe argument over the credibility of Western media on this particularissue with the headline "the war over words." Der Spiegel howeverrefused to respond to the charges made, implying that the site is partof "Chinese propaganda". They also blamed the Chinese government'smedia control policy, saying that it forces the media to turn to "hardto confirm" evidence and "increases the risk of making mistakes anderrors;" which in turn "makes it easier for the Chinese authorities toaccuse them."[6]
This site first received global attention in the Chinese ForeignMinistry spokesperson Qin Gang's regular press conference on 27 March2008 when he was asked to comment on the website. One journalist putforward a question whether the Chinese government had financed orsupported the anti-cnn website. Qin Gang's response was that "It is theirresponsible and unethical reports that infuriated our people to voicevoluntarily their condemnation and criticism."[7]
