German news television regrets error in covering Tibet riots

Germany's RTL news television said on Sunday that it "regrets an error" in covering the riots in Lhasa, capital city of China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

Germans are superior than Americans, Shamelessness makes people intrepid and Germans obviously knows that truth is more important than emotions.

[luf]

"regrets an error"? they should apologize to Chinese.

Well, they are still better than the media in America and Canada. The media here is still saying "China violent crack down ...".

what shameless media?!

[Leonard]

America often admits mistakes...sometimes they don't....just like individual people.

[luf]

America often admits mistakes? Oh, really, that is new to me.

then why don't admit this time?

and why haven't "Admit mistake" to iraqis?

[Leonard]

They don't admit it this time per Tibet because they genuinely believe they are correct. So what? Disagreement is common and is part of life.

Americans are divided on the Iraq issue. We have no intention of making Iraq part of America. It was a coalition that invaded. Bush was re elected.

I live in China, and I can say there is a steady rain of lies and distortion in all the western media about China. The reality of life here, and how sweet it is for all the people, how free it is, and how much oppertunity is never seen in the western press. The reason for this is the Chinese way is an enormous philosophical and ideological threat to all they hold dear. Theres no welfare of any kind. Theres no job protection of any kind. No unions. No liberals. The result of this freedom is a better life for all the people. If the world knew the policies and the results, they would demand them at home, upsetting a lot of apple carts among the crooked lying, populist politions

So what? haa, seems you are upset and emontional. But I don't need your "technique" because I don't mind answer your questions.

So what? Ok, when you know you are wrong, you need to admit it, say sorry, appologise. This is a basic requirement in the civilized world. At least you can't simple say - SO WHAT?

It is rude and unreasonable.

Regarding Iraq issue, of course I know Americans are devided, what I asked was - why don't you appologise?

Oh, I fogot, you don't appologize, you say SO WHAT!

[Andrei Li]

US never did this. Remembered that they bombed our embassy in Belgrade? No apology but only regret. Remembered that they survellance aircraft that was forced down into our air base in 2001, not apology but only regret.

German compensated Jewish people and said sorry, it is what we call reconciliation of saying and doing. For Dalai Lahma, he claimed peace but promote the riots, what a reconciliation. Why we should trust him?

but still better than my friend leonard. at least Clinton said "regret ...", Bush said "very sorry ...", but my friend leonard only says SO WHAT!

Hahaa...

Luf,

different points of view are part of life. sorry you have not learned that yet. hasn't anyone ever disagreed with you before?

[dummy]

I disagree with everything Leonard says..PERIOD

No more talking with him..hahahah

[Leonard]

I think it's not about a different point of view.CNN and some westen media use fake photos to prove their opinion. The media's responsibility is report things equitably.They use tricks to mislead people.So it's totally wrong.there should have no excuses.

I remember the bombing of the Chinese embassy. that was a tragic mistake and a terrible accident, America apolagized again and again and again.

Yes when the two planes collided near China---that was embarrasing---both countries are playing this game though with submarines, spying, etc, etc.

[Leonard]

Each civilization tends to think it's media is true and correct, it is true among the Muslims also, they think everything on Al Jazeera (sp?) is the absolute truth

About the crash, the only question is PLA airforce should make a solid plane and to research how to crash the opponent in sea.

[Leonard]

ouch!

do you know the incident when the Russians shot down a U2 spyplane from America?

[Crack]

Do you know the former soviet su-27 cut the Nato's scout with its vertical stabilizer?

[Leonard]

no I don't know anything about that.
