| Red Cross SG: Thank you for providing the link. I'm afraid you probably misunderstood what I said. CNN is only an example here for media, not western media. It could be any medium, including Chinese media, online media, etc. Not trusting CNN does NOT stands for not trusting western media. There are Canadian TV network, Australian TV network, French Televisions, German Television, BBC, ITV, Scottish TV, etc and etc. And where do you think a medium like Shanghaiist.com or wangjianshuo.com belongs to? Generalization does not help to reach understandings. As for trust, trust isn't built in one day, or upon one link. It builds over time. It depends on the medium's consistent pursuit in respecting facts and insightful rather than sensational perspectives. Even for mainstream media who have achieved credibility among the masses of people, there's no excuse for negligence or distortion. In fact, they have more responsibility with regard to the great social impact they have. |
