CNN.com published an opinion-article on Wednesday about the brutal persecution of Muslim Uyghurs in China by their communist government. That’s good, right? Continue reading. The liberal media outlet also offered a pathetic “editors note” full of commie propaganda watering down the “allegations of crimes” against China. CNN removed the note and replaced it by a gentler one.
CNN published Nury Turkel’s piece about Chinese oppression. It was titled, “I was born in a Chinese ‘reeducation camp.’ I’m watching history repeat itself.”
But here’s the galling “editor’s note” that the journalists at CNN attached:
See, CNN sees brutal China as just offering “training centers”? CNN.com changed the title to this after being clearly embarrassed.
Editor’s note: Nury Turkel is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, vice chair at the US Commission on International Religious Freedom and fellow of the Renew Democracy Initiative’s Frontlines of Freedom project. This commentary is his opinion. CNN has more opinions.
Here’s some of Turkel’s column that CNN tried to water down:
Half a century after the Uyghur people were detained, China now targets them with new determination. The US Department of Defense claims that China could have detained as many as 3,000,000 Uyghurs within its detention camps. CNN has reported that China is destroying Uyghur cemeteries based upon satellite imagery. It is even incorporating a massive forced sterilization program, as per the Uyghur women who have spoken out.
After living with the realities of this regime for a while, and seeing with horror how my Uyghur brothers are being treated, it is difficult for me understand why any Western actor would want to engage with such a dictatorship.
Here’s Senator Ted Cruz’s take on it:
Sadly, corporate whoring for China, at the expense of human lives, is not new for liberal outlets. In September of 2020, ABC’s Good Morning AmericaThe movie was repeatedly moved MulanDisney corporate parent owns the movie. ABC cut the report after it emerged that the film was shot near the brutal Chinese concentration camps.
Over the years The Washington PostPublished a paid supplement section called ChinaWatch by the publicity department of the country’s repressive regime, China Daily. The paper kept publishing it even after the country’s brutal crackdown on Hong Kong.
The October 30, 2019 supplement to the print Washington PostIt featured a communist-made story. It began, “China in its New Era has an increasingly significant role on the world stage as it marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic.” A quote by China’s president, XI Jingping, followed, praising mass killer Mao Zedong:
Seventy years ago on this day, Comrade Mao Zedong solemnly declared here to the world that the People’s Republic of China was founded and the Chinese people had stood up.
Liberal media outlets can be skeptical about any Republican-related content. They believe what they hear about brutal communists.
