From http://www.anti-cnn.com/, I found out how "distorted and biased" news coverage can be. It also provide us "truth" to a certain extents that tried to bring out the justice of such irresponsible news coverage by reputable channel such as US cable news network like CNN & BBC.
Extracted from http://www.anti-cnn.com/. For full content and coverage, go to http://www.anti-cnn.com/.
I think part of the root of these problematic news coverage can provide, are boiled down from the misperception of these previously reliable sources (such as CNN) has on the whole issue, which in return, articulate "biased" and even "distortion" views by the way they projected the issue to the public. These, as a result, caused huge resentment especially in the Chinese community as like most citizens, everyone still have a sense of pride about their own countries.
As such, there's 1 clear question that we should take away from the Olympic protest, that is, how reliable are news coverage? Are there people out there still blindly following these news as the "truth to light" or there might be something that we still do not know or have not been told to us?

Hi Belle,
A very interesting post and good questions to be asking. Your sense of reality or "truth" has been sifted a bit because you are reading alternatives sources and perspectives. And this really begs the question of what is truth? If your views, or even questions, get shifted a bit just by reading...then how is reality or our sense of "truth" actually created? Pretty heavy stuff, but important if you are a comm major.
I like the questions you are asking and keep pressing ahead!
Thanks Michael for the encouragement!
Meanwhile, I will try to keep posting views on issues seems interesting too!
:)
