Public's opinion manipulation thru Media's distortion

Kind of made sense that the Media's distortion is the worst at Germany. I saw some of the pictures of Tibetan protestors beatings by Nepal Police, yet it said it was done by the Chinese, at least in the newspaper anyways. In the US, I saw some news clips in CNN, Fox (Fixed) News, and Reuters, of news commentators talking about 'human rights' issues in China while showing videos Nepal Police beatings.

In other stations like ABC, NBC, CBS and BBC in the UK I saw things which I thought is kind of strange. Again, they are talking about the 'human rights' record in China, yet they actually show the burning and looting in Lhasa. For most people with a disconcerning eye, they got the message about the 'human rights' record in China. However, there are probably some people who see the video for these Tibetan Monks doing all the violence yet talking about human rights record in China. It is like what you hear is not what you see, and this certainly confused me. Maybe some of these stations who was asked to do this is trying to send a message that 'they made me do this' by sending this contradictory story.

In any case, I think Canada and Australia are the most free as I saw the uncanningly honest news like these.

TheStar.com | World | Canadians caught in Tibet's violence

Tibet burns as protests defy police - World - smh.com.au

Now I know why there's so much protestests there by the Chinese.

After the neatly packaged campagin by Bush to convience Americans about 9/11, Iraq and WMD's, it just re-inforced me the idea that you can't trust what you see on the TV screen.
