Talk:Wikileaks releases over 150 censored videos and photos of the Tibet uprising

From Wikileaks

I appreciate the publishing of these images, but I wish the contributor could keep his ideological agenda out of it. Censorship has nothing to do with socialism, and the Chinese leaders are no socialists.

Hear, hear. Please keep this to the facts. Transparency is a good ideal and I appreciate WikiLeaks continuing efforts to this end, but this kind of blatant ideological slant makes this website look bad. I mean, "heroic stand against the inhumane Chinese occupation"? Really? Talk about blatant bias. Let's keep adjectives like "heroic" out and keep the focus on the fight for freedom of information. Also, I think it's a factual error as well. I don't think there are any countries around the world that think Tibet is a soverign nation currently under occupation.

How do you perceive it as a human? Or did I miss this website is running under some nation's flag and thus subject to official diplomatic views? I essentially always thought that was not the case and see that as one of the strengths: being able to tell about what is not just independent from your local commercial/political interests. Just my two cents, I am still confused however in hell one could even remotely debate the situation in Tibet or the justification of its occupation. Thats ridiculous. 1.0.22.53 16:35, 24 March 2008 (GMT)

how are official state television media screenshots considered "Censored"?

They were censored when used by media other than the Chinese government. When the Chinese government media uses the material it provides propaganda captions to it. This is why they are unhappy about the shift of context. Wikileaks 18:13, 31 March 2008 (GMT)

Thanks goodness this website still offers discussion area besides blatant ideology bias and questionable facts. What does 'heroic uprising' suppose to mean? Violence against civilians and attacking ethnics other than their own? While firmly against using excessive force during crackdown, I couldn't help thinking the actions by military force was justifiable.

[edit] Wrongly described pictures on the Tibetan photos summary pages

Dear all,

the two pictures with the first one subtitled "In this image made from video and provided by APTN, a protestor speaks with authorities, Friday, March 14, 2008, in Lhasa, Tibet. Police fired tear gas to disperse Buddhist monks and others staging a second day of protests Saturday in western China in sympathy with anti-Chinese demonstrations in Lhasa, local residents said. (AP Photo/APTN)" is still wrongly captioned as well the picture next to it. Please refer to the difference between Chinese and Nepalese police uniforms even inside the photo page and do comparison.


(6 hours later) Still the same wrong photo captions, how do I contact the persons responsible for the photo page?
