Providing accurate and reliable information of any event or incident is the very basic requirement for individual journalists and news organizations. And Western media organizations have long claimed that this is what they provide.
Yet, when we look at the wrong or modified photos used by some overseas news organizations in reports that tried to convince readers that social unrest took place in China, we cannot but doubt they have double standards when it comes to reporting news about countries such as China.
Some Western papers and websites made up stories about how Chinese people staged large-scale demonstrations or protests demanding freedom and democracy.
