Tibet Protests, the Chinese Response and the global (dis) information society

A chinese friend forwarded me an chain email about the "real" facts of the recent violent protests in Tibet and the response of the chinese government. The email contains a hyperlink to a news story (from a chinese website) which consists of two YouTube Videos made by someone projecting the chinese version of the truth. I would like everyone to visit this link to judge for themselves whether they can digest this truth. The Youtube videos it links to are:
1. Tibet WAS,IS,and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China"（http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QNKB34cJo)
2. Riot in Tibet: True face of western media ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSQnK5FcKas )


My point is that often what passes as the dissemination of information on the Internet is propaganda. On all sides of an issue divide, people just harp on about their point of view. Swearing and using four letter words are considered essential to bringing others around to seeing ones point of view. The use of abusive words in political discussions on the Internet is a good topic of research for communication scholars.
