CNN’s signal in China appeared to be censored halfway through CNN’s Will Ripley reporting on the ousting and replacement of China’s foreign minister Qin Gang after a long absence from the public view.

    Given that your very first piece of evidence of how CNN lies about China is them saying tiananmen square happened, and your “disproof” is just a link to a random website entirely devoted to denying the massacre happened, it’s pretty clear why you’re not exactly getting a positive response

    Edit: The second disproof is literally just the Chinese government saying it isn’t true, which isn’t exactly thorough evidence

    If you exclusively take the statements of a government as unquestionable truth, you’re going to be wrong a lot, regardless of which government you choose

      Great reply except that the Website is just a collection of sources, meaning it doesn’t matter that the website is “random” because it isn’t the source, it’s a collective of multiple sources. Don’t deflect, explain the classified cable showing US knew there was no firing in the square; explain Hou Dejian (one of the protest leaders’) admissions. The 6-4 massacre is just a specific example of the Western atrocity narrative not specific to CNN (which is why I mentioned other Western sources), and it shows how CNN is a part of this disinformation drive. Can I get a single response honestly addressing anything I said or what?
