BBCNews lies (again), corrects error about Chinese media reporting of Bjork concert (BBC新闻（又一个）谎言，改正了中国媒体对于Bjork演唱会的报道)

After pointing out the BBC’s misrepresentation of the facts yesterday, I am pleased to note that today they have changed their article about the reporting of Bjork’s pro-Tibet sentiments at a concert last year.

在指出BBC误说事实的事情以后，我很高兴今天看到他们已经更改了他们关于去年Bjork演唱会藏独的报道。

What once read:
“Last year, Icelandic star Bjork shouted “Free Tibet!” after a song about independence performed during a Shanghai concert, which went unreported in the state-controlled Chinese media. ”

之前写的是：
“去年，冰岛明星Bjork在上海演唱会上表演完一首关于独立的歌以后大喊‘藏独’，此事没有被由国家控制的中国媒体报道过。”

Now reads:
“Last year, Icelandic star Bjork shouted “Free Tibet!” after a song about independence performed during a Shanghai concert.”

现在写的是：
“去年，冰岛明星Bjork在上海演唱会上表演完一首关于独立的歌以后大喊‘藏独’。”

Strangely though, at the top it reads: Page last updated at 15:07 GMT, Monday, 2 March 2009

很奇怪，最上面的注释是：最后更新于格林尼治时间15：07，周一，2009年3月2日

Which is more than 15 hours BEFORE my article. Weird huh? Could this be evil media manipulation or just (another) honest mistake? You decide!

在我的文章出现的15个小时前。很奇怪吧？这究竟是邪恶媒体的操纵还是又一次无心之错呢？你来决定！

BBC News lies about Chinese news media -BBC新闻关于中国媒体的谎言

I’ve been in China nearly a year, and every day I read BBC news as well as a number of other sites through Google News. Today I noticed a story about China cancelling an Oasis gig (this news is actually around 5 days old, but still, I wondered what the reason was for the cancellation).

我在中国近一年了。每天我都看BBC新闻并且通过Google新闻看很多其他网站上的新闻。今天我注意到了一条是关于中国取消了Oasis的演唱会（事实上这个新闻是5天前的了，但是我还是想知道取消的原因。）

To my suprise, I was greeted with the news that the Chinese government had cancelled their gig due to their ‘Free-Tibet’ ties. I thought this was a little extreme (since I doubt Noel and Liam could find Spain on a map, let alone Tibet). Reading on, the BBC detailed some more performers who had been refused entry or had controversial appearances, including Bjork:

让我惊讶的是，我听到的新闻是中国政府因为乐队成员‘藏独’的关系而取消演唱会。我觉得这有一点偏激（因为我怀疑Noel和Liam是不是能在地图上着到西班牙，更别提西藏了）。继续看，BBC还详细提到了其他表演者遭到拒绝或者引起争论的内容，其中包括Bjork：

“Last year, Icelandic star Bjork shouted “Free Tibet!” after a song about independence performed during a Shanghai concert, which went unreported in the state-controlled Chinese media. ”

“去年，冰岛明星Bjork在上海演唱会上表演完一首关于独立的歌以后大喊‘藏独’，此事没有被由国家控制的中国媒体报道过。”

Unreported? That’s weird…I’m sure I remember reading about it somewhere…Probably in local blogs…

没被报道吗? 很奇怪…我肯定在哪里读到过… 很可能是在当地的BLOG上…

The last line of the Xinhua article is particularly unreported:

新华文章中最后一行特别没有指出的是：

“It [China's Ministry of Culture] said it will tighten the scrutiny of foreign artistic groups coming for performance in China to prevent similar incidents from happening again.”

“文化部将在进一步调查核实后，依法进行处理，并将在今后对外国来华演出的文艺团组进一步严格把关，防范类似事件再次发生。”
