Chinese pop music ranges from not-so-good to horrifically awful, which is why a recent Chinese attempt at propaganda makes you scratch your head more than that time you got lice in the second grade.

A ballad called “Don’t Be Too CNN” accusing the western press of propagandizing the political crisis in Tibet, during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has appeared online, accompanied by a video montage of western media coverage of Tibetan protests, starving people, and Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, since his resemblance to Anderson Cooper is so uncanny.

 Under the name LierDalai, one non-native English speaker commented at iReport:

Recently "Don't be too CNN" turns to be a common sentence in China, especially among millions of young people. CNN and their reporters are deperately attack China on their websites and TV programs, and just ignore truth and what the Chinese people's feelings. CNN has turned to be a word to descibe a person who is easy to tell lies and has biased brain to hysterically attack other people without caring their feelings.

Many young people just made these pictures to tell other what is the real meaning of word CNN and how to be an excellent CNN reporter/employee. If you wanna survive in CNN, you need to cut the truth, blind yourself, and be rascal. Don't be too CNN.

Sure, the “Don’t Be Too CNN” video was posted on the website of China’s central state television station. Sure the Chinese government has called western media coverage of Tibet “a textbook of bad examples.” But of course this song is not propaganda machine-accusing-others-of-propaganda song produced by Chinese officials. In fact, I’m sure it will become a popular song to play at weddings.
