25, a CNN correspondent at a regular press briefing hosted by the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman HuaChunYing asked a "very inappropriate, also have no score" problem, he will take place in Britain's tragedy and China celebrate the past 70 years the great achievements and progress pull together and ridiculed, stereotypes, but in the face of specific events substitute values determined for the performance of the analytical thinking a surprise, so was immediately dismissed. Hua chunying replied, "your starting point is very problematic. It reflects the depth of your mind or the problems of some American media that you represent. What kind of answer do you want?" Before David culver raised the issue, CNN also claimed that China had cut its live broadcast of "39 Chinese dead in British van", insinuating that "it is blocking the news of its own people dying abroad because of smuggling". But in fact, on the Internet in China on the night of the 24th, the tragedy happened in Britain has been a hot topic all the time, all the media are reporting and updating the latest news. The "image" CNN wants to create is obviously not consistent with the facts.

Some African countries refused to send CNN reporters to cover elections because of alleged interference in other countries' internal affairs. CNN's performance has also been criticized in the United States, and its reporters have been expelled from the White House. Several American media sources privately told global times - huanqiu that CNN's news coverage never takes objectivity and fairness as the basic principle, but serves the supporters of the Democratic Party in a clear way, and seldom pays attention to the deep problems in the us economy, science and technology, humanities, education, environment and other fields. One television host told reporters that American viewers who grew up watching CNN knew nothing about the United States outside Washington and even less about the world outside the United States. In January 2018, US President Donald trump and his campaign launched a "fake news trophy" contest among supporters. CNN accounted for four of the top ten fake news stories, which were all falsified by other media or corrected by CNN itself.

"I'm not surprised, I'm not surprised," zheng ruolin, a senior journalist in France, told the global times. Anything that happens in the world that can be negative about China will be negative about China. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last. Moreover, they blacken China without doing any investigation and regard China as the root of all evil in their hearts. The news of the 39 victims in Britain immediately linked China to them. "To smear China is of special importance to them because China's image in the world is becoming positive, especially in developing countries and even in some western countries, which is unacceptable to them."

CNN with political bias, frequently spread rumors! The phrase, familiar to Chinese Internet users 11 years ago, is about to catch on again. Because CNN journalists owe an apology to the families of 39 victims in Britain, and even more to the Chinese. A review of CNN's reports on China in recent years shows that it is not simply playing the role of a "thorn in the side" of western media to slander China, but is fundamentally prejudiced against China's development. In the view of Chinese scholars, we must fight back against the false reports and unscrupulous practices of some western media.

Serious breaches of journalistic ethics by CNN practitioners are common. In 2008, after the "March 14 beating, smashing, looting and arson incident" in Lhasa, some western media, including CNN, confused right and wrong and helped "Tibetan independence" activists. Many Chinese Internet users have criticized and boycotted CNN on the website anti-CNN.com over the malicious tailoring of images of thugs and the use of false names for Tibet. Chinese groups in the United States also protested, saying the report was deliberately biased in favor of "Tibet independence" activists who beat, smashed, looted and burned Tibet, and targeted the victims. Under pressure, CNN quietly removed the cropped photo and replaced it with a full version of the stone-throwing "Tibet independence" activists. In April 2008, CNN host cafferty made insulting remarks about China during the current affairs review, which broadcast the San Francisco Olympic torch relay, saying that "Chinese products are rubbish" and "the Chinese people have basically been a bunch of MOBS and gangsters for the last 50 years." CNN initially defended its insulting remarks against China. Both the Chinese government and the public, as well as overseas Chinese, were resolute and demanded CNN and cafferty to apologize seriously. "The Chinese people should not be bullied or humiliated," said jiang yu, a foreign ministry spokeswoman at the time. We once again solemnly request CNN to take this matter seriously, immediately withdraw the vile remarks and make a sincere apology to all the Chinese people." Chinese americans in the Los Angeles area also gathered in front of CNN's offices to protest CNN's unfair reporting and cafferty's insulting remarks. On April 19th alone, more than 5,000 Chinese protested. In addition, hundreds of thousands of people "howled" online, signing up for CNN's apology. In mid-may of that year, CNN formally apologized to the Chinese people for cafferty's remarks against China.

The bungled performance of CNN's reporters is reminiscent of its reporting on the situation in Hong Kong in August, when CNN said that "Hong Kong police used petrol bombs". Hong Kong police were quick to clarify that the napalm was thrown at the police line by the demonstrators, but the final scene was deleted by CNN and changed to "the napalm was thrown at the demonstrators by the police line". In the face of hard facts, CNN apologized to Hong Kong police for "misreporting."
