抗议国家地理杂志

为一个朋友，他在国家地理杂志上看了篇很诋毁中国的文章，很气愤，号召大家都写信抗议

==========================================================================

NG published a disgusting article in the December issue on Xinjiang's recent riot: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/12/uygurs/teague-text I'm so angry that I decided to write a letter to the editor (see below), Chris Johns (email: [e-mail] ), please send your email and voice your opinion .

Dear Editor Chris Johns ,

I’m a long time subscriber to NG. I have truly enjoyed reading every issue of your magazine until the December issue. The featured article in this issue, The Other Tibet, has appalled me. Like many others in the world, I view the riot in Xinjiang last July nothing less than an act of terrorism: for weeks innocent people were attacked or killed, businesses were assaulted, and the region was terrified, by a small group of terrorists who were mostly Uygurs. As far as I could tell based on the facts, the local and central Chinese government exhibited well acclaimed control in use of forces, and few complained about the way the government handled the riot.

What puzzles me the most about this article is not how the author, Matthew Teague, wrote the article with his personal peculiar angle in the observation of the incidence, biased opinion towards Han Chinese and the Chinese government, unbalance coverage of the confrontation and unjustified conclusion which was not based on complete and accurate facts, but rather your magazine’s stand and your personal note on the article which, in my opinion, violates your magazine’s long time principle in apolitical, unbiased and objective coverage of important issues in both natural and human world. Although I find many social aspects in this article interesting and educational, I think the author’s intention to paint a politically biased image on this incidence is unfortunate and wrong.

Therefore, I demand you as an editor of this issue, apologize to readers for the improper publication of the article, The Other Tibet .

Sincerely yours,

Dr He, Ph.D.

问题的核心被抛开一边了，就是，新疆的骚乱到底是不是“境外势力和热比娅指使”的？骚乱者的诉求到底是什么？
海外汉人对新疆维吾尔人的生存状况有多少了解？除了听中共媒体的宣传之外，还有没有收到来自别的媒体的报道？

"Therefore, I demand you as an editor of this issue, apologize to readers for the improper publication of the article, The Other Tibet."---此老受文革遗害甚重。

by the way, i don't think it is justified to demand apology to the readers. everyone can have an opinion. if someone else's opinion does not agree with yours, apology is required, that's not democracy.

i was angry when i just start reading the article. after i finished, i calmed down. to be honest, it is not too badly written. way better than people's daily. anyway, sending a letter to them is the right way; stop reading the magazine is not smart.

先向司令报到，致以崇高的敬礼。
我也抗议了，而且中止了对该刊的订阅。

没有用的， 对于这些商业杂志， 抓眼球，让读者看了舒服的是最好的， 你写个为中国辩护的，再有道理， 不顺应西方读者的思想潮流， 没人喜欢看。 咱们还是好好建设家园， 多捐款， 多回国腐败， 管他们说什么。

I was also very angry after reading that article (Another Tibet). Please forward my thanks to your friend Dr He. It would be nice if somebody can organize a co-sign of such letters, which is much easier and more effective than people writing protest letters separately. Please let us know if NG ever replies to Dr He. I wrote a similar letter to TIME a year ago to protest their biased report on China's preparation for the Olympics Games, but the magazine did not even acknowledge the receiving of my email.
