(Click the photo on the left for larger size) Based on anti-cnn.com, on the July 29, 2008, one of the Austria newspapers “Age” reported “China’s planning a sweeping purge on Tibetan……..” (Quote from the newspaper) in its report titled “China Launches Tibet Crackdown”. In this report, it used a photo that showed three men in uniforms (looks like soldiers or policemen) taking a monk in red. Were those men in uniforms were Chinese policemen of soldiers? To me they were not Chinese policemen. Any foreigners who had been in Tibet and saw any policemen or soldiers in Tibet or had any knowledge about Chinese policemen would have known that those were not Chinese policemen or soldiers. Was anti-cnn.com wrongfully accused Australia Newspaper “AGE”? I don’t know. But, it was too obvious that men in uniforms were not Chinese policemen or soldiers. The man in uniform who held the monk’s right arm looks like a Nepal origin or maybe an Indian. The man in uniform at the right most looks like a Westerner. If you had been in Chinese or in Tibet, did you see any Chinese looked like those two men in the photo (see photo on top left)?Whether this photo was taken from Tibet or not, you will be the judge. If you real care about the true, you can tell if AGE fabricated news or anti-cnn.com wrongfully accused AGE. If AGE deliberately used this kind of photo to fool around most of people who had no knowledge about China and Chinese people for sometimes. It really hurts the newspaper itself for a long run because this report with the photo will remain on the record as part of AGE’s history forever. One day in the future, people will still be able tell “AGE” had fabricated news on July 29, 2008 and reporter was Richard Spencer.
If anti-cnn.com wrongfully accused AGE, then AGE should suit it for the damage of the newspaper’s reputation.
I think it would be a shame for Australia Newspaper AGE and its reporter if anti-cnn.com’s accussation were proved to be true.
