Following the fear-mongering perpetuated this week by (actually pro-surveillance) American senator Sam Brownback that China will be spying on attendees of the Olympics in their hotel rooms, anti-CNN.com has localized the story by looking at how the BBC covered it in the current anti-CNN front-page exposé post, ‘British Brain-washing Channel [sic] (BBC) Lies again!’
通过搜索,我们发现这张图片至少6次被BBC作为”当前“新闻配图引用过,而相关新闻的时间跨度长达8年!
So following the one above, the anti-CNN.com community was able to dig up:

Jiang backs China's net growth
A few cherrypickings of the first of four pages and growing of comments on this thread:
实在服了西方媒体记者的”敬业精神”.
这张照片怎么看怎么象是两个武警在学上网.
This really makes a joke of western media journalists’ “professionalism”
Is it me or does this photo just look like two wujing learning how to use the internet
。。。。现在都液晶显示器了,还用这么老的显示器做新闻图片,他们是不是认为我们这8年就没发展啊,造假也太没水准了吧
We use LCD screens now, how could a photo with such an old monitor be called news? Do they think we haven't been developing here these past eight years? They can't even make fake news properly!
西方民主的所谓新闻自由,难道不负任何责任吗?不负责任就叫自由呀?哦,西方就是要让中国不负责任呀,不负责任以后,他们就有机会了
So in Western democracy's so-called press freedom, is being irresponsible the way to be responsible? Irresponsibility is just freedom? Sure, the West just wants China to be irresponsible, so that when it is, then they'll have their chance

Blocking websites in this age is like blocking your eyes to reality
@alibaba you might be able to set something up on Yeeyan.com, but if you really just wanted to get down to work and not worry about fancy coding or design, you could do like the GFW China blog (which I orz, btw) and blog on blogspot and make a category for every noun or verb you can think of, then every post can be cross-referenced n different ways.
Either way, I think you have a hugely useful hobby, alibaba! I just worry that all your effort will go to waste if restricted to comments sections.
Thanks JK.
My computer knowledge is very limited,but I will give it a go.
Thanks again.
I’m glad Kennedy chimed in to lend some support for alibaba. As I already said, I really do think you could create a really useful website (and a name for yourself) by faithfully and objectively collecting/translating the diverse opinions from the Chinese so they are accessible to Western audiences.
For one thing, there are many Westerners who simply have an incomplete impression of the different voices/opinions amongst the Chinese.
For another, even the Westerners who try their best to present a more accurate, fair, and balanced picture of China and the Chinese tend to see only the worst of the Chinese opinions, arguments, and noise.
Of course, the “wu mao dang” and “fenqing” doesn’t help but I think bringing to light the other voices would really help everyone have a better understanding of both the Chinese as people and of the situations that cause so much controversy and conflict.
alibaba, thanks for those, it was wonderful reading that without kingsoft :) more of these comments would go a very long way in building understanding. my greatest disappointment now that I’m leaving china is not to have been able to meet people irl like those posters. it definitely heavily influenced my view of the Chinese. it’s pretty normal not to trust outsiders, but a pity nonetheless. (saw them on the web though, which helps.)
To JK,
Please check on lamp-of-alladin (that is me) Yeeyan.com,a few of my post is there now.
Please free to send advice to me using my e-mail.
I might get an account on twitter soon.
@alibaba
signing up for a blogspot blog takes like 3 minutes at blogger.com, though you might need a gmail address if you don’t already have one. I have a request, could you included the title/topic of the thread or post you’re translating from? And maybe even the exact link, in case anyone wants to check it out for themselves (not just me, I hope).
@aladin
oh, cool, going to check it out right now
@alibaba
and see you on twitter! my first recruit!
