Wen Jiabao Protest London 1/2/09 Sky/BBC news comparison

The protests outside the Chinese embassy on 1st February 2009 were captured by many news crews. Two reports by BBC and Sky News are very similar, showing the exact same few minutes of events. However, the cries of a Free Tibet protester seem to have been dubbed out of the Sky report. Why?

@amdo2008dragon Youtube is banned in china for their double standards, if youtube will work under influence of US and EU then It will be banned in other countries too.

As long as we bring these thugs to their knees and lock them up, I don't care about what they say in the West because the West has always been biased towards China. It is our own business. And we know how to handle our own internal affairs.

So these western governments hire these thugs to do all these demonstrations and violent things in Tibet. The important thing is we don't let these separatist thugs win.

Britain is always a barbaric shithole with ugly chicks and stupid devils.

the sky camera was probably fitted with a directional mic- the cone of sound is quite narrow (30 degrees) whereas the BBC was probably a multi directional mic. The footage was broadcast live so it would be next to impossible to dub sound 'on the fly'. Hope this clarifies the matter.

This argument only works if you presume that no tibetans had babies between 1959 and today. I mean, I know China has tried to control the Tibetan population through forced sterlisation etc but I don't think even the Chinese could be THAT efficient!

why don't all the Tibetans in England go back to their homeland? you should free your own fellows rather than just shouting on the quiet street. it's nosiy!

''the whole world knows why youtube is banned in china'' - That is a little more complex than you might think rather than what you only know. ''free tibet now'' you tell more what you're gonna gain after that? Well regardless above all the events free tibet won't happen, not even when our Sun burns out.

It was not caused by the Chinese - it was caused by the British and it was caused by Dalai Lama who enslaved his own people that led to the deaths of thousands.
