All that's happening in Tibet, including the Dalai Lama's appeals to his "Chinese brothers and sisters," are diluted or censored in Chinese media, where the government controls all TV, newspapers, and radio. Online coverage is censored.
That's according to a report in the Christian Science Monitor, which correlates the media black-out to the high percentage of Chinese citizens that aren't troubled by their country's actions in Tibet.
"The government has ensured its control over Tibet-related information in the traditional media by the simple expedient of making sure that only news and commentary from Xinhua, the official news agency, has appeared in papers or on TV.
"Not a single case has come to light of any Chinese newspaper using any other source over the last three weeks."
