CNN accused of 'literally publishing Chinese propaganda'

Who said the Left are ruled by the ChiComs?


CNN this week published a report copying almost word-for-word a Chinese Communist Party press release praising the People's Liberation Army Navy's efforts to contain the coronavirus and degrading the U.S. Navy's failures to do likewise.
Almost as bad as CNN's promotion of Chinese propaganda is the network's defense of its decision to run state-sponsored agitprop.

The story was a "single update from our international site’s 24-7 Live Story," a CNN spokesman told the Daily Caller. He added, "[The story] explicitly states the sourcing as a PLA story and identifies the Global Times as 'a state-run tabloid.' That transparency is key as a global news source serving a global audience."

...

Everything about the People’s Liberation Army "report" cited by CNN screams that it is government propaganda, yet it ended up on CNN's website anyway.

How?

The original CNN story, bylined to an "international homepage editor" based at CNN’s Hong Kong bureau, was based entirely on a "news report" that appeared first on a Chinese government website. It is not the sort of place where an "international homepage editor" for a free press would normally trawl for genuine news items, unless the point was to contrast.

The author then made the judgment call that the Chinese government "report" was worthy of serious attention and news coverage, a decision that presumably required the backing of an editor. The author then wrote an article based entirely on a "report" that says the People’s Liberation Army believes the People’s Liberation Army is doing a great job. The CNN article was then (presumably) edited, double-checked by CNN web producers, and then published online. Considering the number of CNN employees who were likely involved in bringing the story to life, it is remarkable that no one flagged it for propaganda or even questioned the news value of a report that states simply that China believes China has handled the pandemic wonderfully.

Queue latest right wing faux outrage and diversion attempt. Don't see anything here to get excited about. Everything about the story was identified. Unless you are a right winger desperately looking for any distraction to take the searing laser beam heat off the ass of our reality TV show host President. :)

The term ChiCom has been around for a long time. Tell the truth. Which right wing rag or talk radio host started using it to get all you lemmings fired up? Honestly, you right wingers have no imagination whatsoever. Just the same old recycled bag of crap. :)

ChiCom is an accurate description since 1949, Dufus.

Actually 1926 I believe. Hence the words "long time". Wasn't sure you got that. My question still stands, which member of the right wing started using the term so that it became OK for the rest of you lemmings to parrot the talking point? I've only seen it arise on these boards over the last two or three weeks. Given the fact that talking points spread amongst you righties faster than an STD, someone had to start using it regularly.

And it’s 1949.

It doesn't offend me. It started being used regularly in the right wing lexicon over the last few weeks. I don't believe most right wingers are smart enough to start using the term on their own. They had to hear it from one of their daily parrots
 
First heard Rush use it many years ago. To this day it’s virtually the only way he addresses/refers to the Chinese government, the country, its issues, whatever.

It’s a beauty, ain’t it? Succinct as hell...ChiComs!
 
Of course CNN is not a friend of America, just like the Democratic party.
