【禁聞】央視再鬧烏龍:華盛頓現身南北戰爭

2014年01月02日央視窩案
【新唐人2014年01月03日訊】2014年的第一天,中共喉舌《央視》再次鬧出烏龍事件。在當天《央視》播出的歷史記錄片鏡頭中,美國第一任總統喬治•華盛頓,神奇的「被現身」於「南北戰爭」中,引髮網民一片炮轟。

1月1號《央視》播出的歷史記錄片《魅力記錄--槍》,以中國及世界範圍內的老槍、新槍傳奇故事為切入點,分析武器的優勢與不足,以及對具體戰役的影響等。

在播出第五集《狙擊槍》時,《央視》對其中一個小片段介紹說:在美國「南北戰爭」的「布蘭迪萬戰役」中,南軍士兵弗格森用槍從背後瞄準一位高大的北軍軍官,但他沒有開槍。而這名高大的北軍軍官就是喬治•華盛頓。

時政評論員汪北稷:「美國的第一任總統是喬治•華盛頓。南北戰爭時期的總統是第16任總統亞伯拉罕•林肯。所以它(央視)可以把1789年上任的總統放到1861年,那麼這裡面相差了88年,這個是非常荒謬的一件事情。」

據了解,美國「南北戰爭」發生於1861年至1865年;而「布蘭迪萬戰役」爆發於獨立戰爭時期(1775年∼1783年),喬治•華盛頓在獨立戰爭時期擔任軍中總司令,1789年成為美國第一任總統。

有網民質問:「這是搞笑節目嗎?」。

也有網民戲謔:「這南北戰爭到底打得有多慘烈啊,竟穿越14位美國總統,打到喬治•華盛頓時期了。」

原《河北人民廣播電臺》編輯朱欣欣:「現在很多編輯或者寫作者,實際上是歷史基礎的知識比較差,再有一個也許是有意的為之,有的時候中共為了宣傳,不惜篡改歷史,為我所用,它需要把甚麼材料放在哪,它就任意的來編造歷史。」

時政評論員汪北稷指出,作為中共發聲筒的喉舌媒體,它的「使命」決定了它會犯這些幼稚的錯誤。

汪北稷:「它的使命是愚弄人,扭曲歷史,所以它報錯事情,或者馬虎很官僚的去報導全世界的事情,包括隱瞞中國的事實,包括歪曲國外的現象,這個情形比較正常的事情來講。它也不會覺得這個事情很丟人,或者說很違犯新聞操守、新聞道德。」

去年(2013年)4月,民眾整理「央視造假集錦」,其中包括《央視》「焦點訪談」的「一女兩身份」的造假圖片、和一男兩國籍,以及「蝙蝠才是SARS病毒元兇」等造假鏡頭。

而《央視》造假節目中,最出名的應該是前中共「610辦公室」主任李東生,在擔任《央視》副臺長期間,策劃的《天安門自焚偽案》。《新唐人電視臺》製作的記錄片《偽火》,全面分析了「天安門自焚」偽案,並獲得「第51屆哥倫布國際電影電視節」榮譽獎。

2013年最後一天,上海一位企業內訓項目專家陳宗鶴舉報《央視》﹕將一個「不存在」的網站貼到屏幕上「是公開造謠」。他在微博貼出《央視》《環球視線》節目的一張截圖 。截圖是「推特」網友,對美國總統歐巴馬進行的批評和指責。

由於互聯網社交網站「推特」和「臉書」被中共長期封鎖,對大陸網民來說,這兩個網站根本不存在。陳宗鶴的舉報得到眾人支持,他對《央視》的指控被稱作「年末黑色幽默」。

那麼《央視》為甚麼自打嘴巴貼出「推特」網民的話呢?

朱欣欣:「可能它為了選材料,就忘了推特在中國是看不到的,被封鎖的﹔還有一種可能,也可能是編輯故意的,也許他對中國這個封鎖不滿,他有意找一個推特的例子,讓觀眾看看,你看還有這麼一個網站。」

《央視》種種惡行早已引發中國民眾的公憤,日前,由大陸網民發起的「中國人渣集體排名」,《央視》榮登榜首。

Further Criticism Over China Central Television Errors

On the first day of 2014, the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) state-controlled China Central Television
(CCTV) again made errors in it's broadcasting.

First U.S. President George. Washington was erroneously
mentioned in a documentary film about the Civil War.
This received criticism from netizens.

On January 1, CCTV broadcast a history
documentary called, "Fascinating Records – Guns".
The film analyzed the advantages
and disadvantages of weapons.
It used stories of specific armed campaigns from China
and around the world, to look at the impact of guns.

The fifth episode looked at the sniper rifle. In one story, the
American Civil War's Battle of Brandywine was featured.
Confederate soldier Ferguson was described to take
aim at a Union Army Officer, named George Washington.

Wang Beiji, political commentator: "The first
President of America was George Washington.
The President during the Civil War was
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President.
It is quite absurd to mention a President from 1789
in a story 1861, as there is 88 years difference."

There were also further errors. The American
Civil War took place between 1861 and 1865.
The Battle of Brandywine was in the Revolutionary
War, which took place from 1775 to 1783.
George. Washington was Commander in Chief in the
Revolutionary War, becoming first President in 1789.

Some netizens questioned: "Is it a comedy?"

Some netizens also joked: "How tragic the Civil War
continued through a period with 14 US Presidents."

Zhu Xinxin, former editor, Hebei People's Radio:
"It might be because some editors or authors
have a relatively poor knowledge of history
It might also be that CCTV intentionally rewrote
and distorted history to promote the Chinese regime."

Political commentator Wang Beiji pointed out
that as CCP state-controlled media, its mission
dictates that it should commit such naive mistakes

Wang Beiji: "It's quite normal for reports to be wrong,
careless and bureaucratic with regard to international news.
Reports conceal the fact about China, and
distort international news, because its mission
is to misinform people and distort history."

They don't feel shame on violating journalist's ethics.

Last April, people reorganized the CCTV 'Fraud Collection'.

This included the picture of "a lady with
two ID's from CCTV's Focus program.
It also included one man who had two nationalities,
as well as bats being the leading cause of SARS virus."

The most famous fraud program in CCTV is
former Director of 610 Office Li Dongsheng.
As Deputy Director of CCTV, Li organized the
propaganda campaign "Tiananmen Self-immolation".
NTD Television produced a documentary called False Fire.

This was a comprehensive analysis of the self-immolation
incident, winning the 51st Columbus International Film
and Television Festival" Honorable Mention.

On December 31, Chen Zonghe, a Shanghai Corporate
Training Project Specialist, reported that CCTV committed
public slander by showing a non-existent website.

He posted a screenshot of the program in
question, Global Vision, in his microblog.
The screenshot revealed criticism and condemnation of
U.S. President Obama from a Chinese Twitter account.

Social media platforms Twitter and
Facebook do not exist on Chinanet.
The CCP has blocked access to them.

Chen Zonghe's allegation against CCTV gained public
support, being referred to as the end of year black humor.

Why did CCTV contradict itself posting false Twitter images?

Zhu Xinxin: "One possibility is that they
forgot you can't access Twitter in China.
Another possibility was to intentionally show
Twitter to the public, as they know Chinese
people are dissatisfied with internet blockades."

Many CCTV errors have already triggered public anger.

Recently, CCTV was ranked top on China's "Scum
Rankings", launched by the mainland netizens.
