I am a very ordinary Chinese who lives Europe. By reviewing and studying the news both from the West and China in reporting the mob turmoil in Tibet, I got impression that no actual information flow or communication between the two sides. It seems to me that there is no true interests in getting what really happened there by most of the media in the West since the conclusion has been made long time before this turmoil even took place and a choice has been made that Chinese has invaded into Tibet no matter what history was.

According to the picture and video material I have got, it is so clear that there are quite few 'terrists' burning, robbing shops and attacking passengers at the spot. Most of media in the West, when reporting this event, seems totally blind toward those sides of story. It seems to me that it is more important to choose a side rather than discover a reality there. In most report, there is only peaceful monks and Tibetans VS bad government, or at the worst case, angry Tibetan mass VS bad government, but no criminals and no innocent victim. What a picture!

I really felt sorry for media it has been used in such a way. There, in the media on certain issues, professional value has given its way to personal value judgment and emotional expression never minded the truth.

Do not forget, just while ago, media in general greatly helped and supported Nato in launching Air strike in Serbia, Media in United States have supported the War in Iraq!

Does truth matters? It does not seem so since most of the media have drawn its conclusion long time before.

Where Media will lead ordinary mass and what is the social responsibility of mass media as a social institute?
