Western Media Fabrications regarding the Tibet Riots
Fake Videotape used by CNN
by Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, April 16, 2008
On the day of the Lhasa Riots (March 14, 2008), there is evidence of media fabrication by CNN.
The videotape presented by CNN in its News Report on the 14th of March (1.00pm EST) was manipulated.
VIDEO: Tibet monks protest against Chinese rulers (CNN, March 14, 2008)
The report presented by CNN's Beijing Correspondent John Vause focussed on the Tibet protests in Gansu province and in the Tibetan capital Lhasa.
What was shown, however, was a videotape of the Tibet protest movement in India.
Viewers were led to believe that the protests were in China and that the Indian police shown in the videotape were Chinese cops.
At the outset of the report, a few still pictures were presented followed by a videotape showing police repressing and arresting demonstrators in what appeared to be a peaceful protest:

CNN received these photographs from Gansu province, where there is a large Tibetan population. [still photographs followed by video footage] According to Students for a Free Tibet, about 2,000 protestors took to the streets earlier today. They were there for about three hours. They flew the Tibetan flag and called for an independent Tibet. All of this comes after days of unrest in Tibet after monks, who were marking the 49th anniversary of a failed uprising against Chinese rule. (CNN News, 1.00pm EST, March 14, 2008)
The voice over of John Vause then shifts into reporting on violence in Lhasa. The videotape however depicts the Tibetan protest in Himashal Pradesh, India.

By the way, IF China needed to recruit provocateurs, why the chaos and violence during the torch relay only occured in the Western world, while in kazahkstan, turkey, russia, argentina, tanzania, oman and pakistan the torch was only bring the olympic spirits in town with thousands of cheerful local supporters? and the security did what they are supposed to do to maintain order?

Thought you have put me on ignore
Anyhow, look up the sources from a non-Western and non-Chinese media channel, and show me the same chaotic and violent protests like what we see in Kazahkstan, Turkey, Russia, Argentina, Tanzania, Oman, Pakistan

No, I never put anyone on ignore, no matter how ignorant they are. What’s the point of discussion boards if you’re just going to ignore the opinions you don’t like?
Exactly my point, its not just western media, go to the media of those countries where you claim there where no protests. You will see for yourself. Tanzania and Oman are the only ones that didn’t have a public protests, but Tanzania had a torch bearer quit in protest.

Maybe that’s all your media in China is telling you because I can tell you there where protests in Kazakhstan, there where large protests in Turkey, Russia had a small amount of protests, in Argentina there where thousands but where all kept “hidden” from the torch, Tanzania was not allowed public protests, but some people who where suppose to run with the roch refused to, so therefore protested, in Pakistan the route had to be cut very short and the relay actually took place in a stadium behind closed doors, now it’s off to India, with a lot more protests.
