　　提贝特（就是XiZang啊）***，西方媒体报道被网友揭露为假。这里面，甚至包括了大名鼎鼎的CNN等。

　　作为一个新闻专业的学生，俺也算一向将那些媒体的报道宗旨和很多案例奉为经典。如今出现这样的事情，让我很是困惑。于是，请教了大牛Punk-kid，她的解释如下（大牛就是大牛，全称E文伺候，看得我好累……）：

　　Paney：你怎么看西媒报道中国XiZang的事情？

　　Punk-Kid：I think it's largely fair...based on what they have access to.They do present the Dalai Lama much better, becuz he's open to the media, he's accessible.Foreign journalists were barred from Tibet, they can't go and investigate and you have a government presenting a hostile face to them...probably not the best way to get your message out.
　　Think about this...the government's favorite report is from 《the Economist》,that's becuz the Economist happened to have a reporter in Tibet already, he was able to see and talk to people.

　　Paney：呃……其实我也能理解东西方的不同观念，也习惯了中国ZF自以为是的失策。不过我还是不太能理解，一些西媒在技术层面的所作所为。

　　Punk-Kid：those were more than likely mistakes：It's sad but live TV does make a lot of mistakes……Reporters couldn't get into Tibet, those photos and videos were given to them by probably tourists——of course that's not the most reliable way to do news...but cable news is...cheap anyways...CNN...and of course us.
　　Think if you have to edit a photo from..let's say...Nigeria, and it's actually from Kenya...and nobody from there is talking to you, you probably get it wrong too,and you were probably given 5 mins to get it ready.

　　Paney：呃…………作为平媒人，我对电视的流程实在不是很了解~~~~~

　　Punk-Kid：It is sad how much wrong info we just put on air every day,broadcasting 24 hours a day with only news is not easy.

　　Paney：感觉有点儿恶性循环了，这种互相的不信任。

　　Punk-Kid：On the chinese government side...it's not about trust——they never trusted foreign media.it's...unfortunately...all about manipulation.
　　Do you know they banned live shots from Tiananmen Sq?so this summer we can't broadcast live from there, so no protesters can make it on live TV.Truth is...there were protesters in every Olympic city.The Lamas were protesting in Turin Italy...and the AP guys were like...we don't wanna go...that's nothing new.

　　看到这里，大致理解了一些。不过，CNN之后关于照片裁剪的解释，似乎还是无法让我想通——尤其是他们自己又悄悄换上了未经裁剪的图片。

　　总之，西方媒体曾经的光辉形象，也在我心中完全轰然倒塌了。天下乌鸦一般黑，没有什么媒体是可信的，无论东方，还是西方。

　　PS：这两天去参加了一个水污染防治研讨会。在会上，一个来自浙江的科技人员小声告诉我，虽然与会主题是蓝藻治理——起因是由于去年的太湖水污染令Center震怒了。但他表示，蓝藻，其实只是糊弄上级的一个替罪羊。里面的真正原因很复杂，那一年无论太湖是否播发蓝藻水华，太湖水都会被污染而无法饮用的。然而，上级就因为这个原因，开始大张旗鼓地针对蓝藻“宣战”。纳税人的钱，即将再一次打了很响很响的水漂——不过，反正大家都习惯这么听响儿了……

　　呵呵，越来越觉得：不止媒体，其实这个世界上，没有什么是可以相信的。

　　想起了之前的“靠不住”大片系列笑话。其实，生活远比大片儿更精彩，所以也远比大片儿更靠不住。-_-
