Tens of thousands of netizens have answered calls to condemn CNN and a few other western media organizations for distorting facts in covering the riot in Lhasa, capital city of China's Tibet Autonomous Region.[Video]

"The fairness and objectivity of CNN is cropped," said one of the postings at the online forum of www.china.com, referring to a CNN website picture showing people running in front of a military truck. The original picture uploaded by Chinese netizens, however, actually also shows mobsters throwing stones at the truck.

"CNN has cut the part of mobsters attacking the military truck. That's misleading the public," said a posting by Sanfeng.

The netizens say that CNN and some western media organizations have intentionally neglected cruelties of the mobsters, revealing the hypocrisy of "objectivity and fairness" they had flaunted.

A CNN caption of another picture on its website said that some "Tibetan youths" were attacking a "Chinese".

"Aren't Tibetan youths also Chinese? I doubt whether the editor has ever studied history," said one of the postings.
