Plenty of people call for protesting against CNN and resisting CNN advertisement sponsor.
In the program, calling “The Situation Room”, Wolf Blitzer, the emcee, interviewed CNN commentator Jack Cfferty, asked his opinions of many patriotic Chinese protesting the Olympic Torch relay in San Francisco and whether the relationship between China and America is different for this years. Jack Cafferty considered that he did not know whether China is far different from before, but he said the relationship between the two countries is quite different. Besides, he also said that America imports a lot of junk from China and leads to great many chinese seize jobs from American, and jobs to places where they can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that they are buying from Wal-Mart. At the end, he said Chinese people are “basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years
A net friend produced Cafferty’s remarks with racial discrimination into video and post it into You Tube Website. Then it spreads over all domestic and foreign forum , stirring severe rebel and anger.
The original remarks of Jack Cafferty is following,
"Well, I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different. We're in hawk to the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the war in Iraq, for one thing. They're holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our paper. We also are running hundred of billions of dollars worth of trade deficits with them, as we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years”.
