People are not able to visit the world and know about everything, so they created "Media". As a journalist, the basic line is that you should have profession ethics and tell people the truth. However, some media, like CNN did not follow this doctrine. They play audiance like fools; they cut pictures to distort the truth; they pointed at China's national flags in San Francisco Torch relay and tell the audiance "these are the protestors against Chinese government."; they call the chinese "goons and thugs." see the website anti-cnn.com, to make the judgment by yourselves. The constitution entitles the US citizens the right of knowing the truth along with the right of free speech. AS A MEDIA, CNN HAS THE RIGHT TO KEEP SILENT, BUT IT DO NOT HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO ALTER THE FACTS AND MISLEAD PEOPLE. But CNN seems did not aware of this doctrine nor did it make any efforts to keep its professional ethics. They didn't tell the audiance that the Tibetian mobs burned 5 young girls live to death and hit many others to death. They did not tell the audiance that Chinese government have exempted the tax of Tebit for many years and it provide financial support to the Tibetian area every year. They did not tell that the Tibetian lamas get salary for being lama and do not have to work at all. They did not even retrospect the 1992 LA riots and tell people that the US government did the same thing in the past that it moblized an army of 10,000 and killed 50 more people to settle the riot.
