| MUMBAI: CNN has criticised
China's government censors for repeatedly blacking out the channel's
coverage of the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown. Out of
a series of programmes the channel aired on Tiananmen, the only one
that escaped the scissors was Chinese returning home from exile to
do business.
"Audio and video have been repeatedly blacked out -- sometimes
selectively, but most of the time completely -- whenever CNN shows
reports on the crackdown," said a report published on the channel's
website.
"Live reports from Beijing and Hong Kong, as well as interviews
with guests, including Columbia University's Andrew Nathan and former
U.S. ambassador to China James Lilley, have all been blacked out,"
CNN accused.
