China's new chart-topper: "Don’t be too like CNN"

We've published several posts (here and here) about the onslaught of online criticism aimed at the Western media, in particular CNN, over its coverage of violence in Tibet. Here's the latest example of CNN bashing : a song originally broadcast on the state TV channel CCTV, and now running rife on the Internet. See the video.

Anonyme,you are American,no? How is it do you think we are not be swallowed up by the media in the truth of George Bush's Iraq war slaughter and destruction being what it is a crime,a violation of innocent people, a holocaust! And with George Bush admitting he approved of torture,and no news stories running 24-7 in light of that! ABC demonizing Obama in a so called debate! Who would you say is controlling CNN and the whole American media?

I hope all chinese people should understand that Tibetans are not against Chinese people, I know that they against the Communist Govt. and as for Media concern, Even they show some pictures of Tibetans Protestor which all the Tibetans doesnt believes, but we cant go against them. Media will do whatever the Latest picture they get. So Messages to all the Chinese Media has right to show and we are the one who have to choose the right one. So instead of shouting against the Western Media you should ask yours Communist Govt.
