英语新闻视频 Don't be too CNN

"CNN solemnly swears that everything on it is the truth, but I've gradually discovered this is actually a deception¹."
As the song continues, images of burnt-out shops and smoke rising over Lhasa flash across the screen repeatedly.


"Don't think that repeating something over and over again (means that) lies become truth," the lyrics² run.
The song had been played 160,000 times by 7 pm yesterday on video.sina.com.cn. Other portal websites have also used it.
One netizen left a message on the website requesting Murong to sing the song in English for "all peace-lovers around the world".
Hu Linlin from Ningbo, Zhejiang province, suggested it would be a good idea to promote the track through karaoke, arguably China's most popular form of entertainment.
"This will be the best way to make the song a real hit, " she said.
But K-TV heavyweights Partyworld and Melody said they didn't have any plans yet to promote the smash hit.
CNN's credibility has taken a dive in China ever since the network cropped photos of a mob attacking military vehicles from a photograph in order to portray³ an overbearing military presence in Lhasa.
The network again outraged⁴ the Chinese people when commentator⁵ Jack⁶ Cafferty called the Chinese "goons and thugs" and Chinese products "junk".
Meanwhile, millions of Chinese netizens put off by the bias⁷ in Western media coverage⁸ of the Tibetan riots have festooned their MSN messenger names with hearts and "CHINA".
MSN contact lists of netizens have steadily⁹ filled up with the symbols of solidarity¹⁰ since Wednesday.
One MSN user told reporters the symbol's ubiquity underlined the Chinese people's love for their country.
"Heart + CHINA means 'I love China'," said one user who calls herself "Heart + CHINA Yao" on her contact details.
"It also means all Chinese people are united in supporting our country when it faces challenges."
