近日，加拿大视频博主柯克·阿佩兰（Kirk Apesland）在中国隔离期间发布的一则视频火了！
自疫情暴发以来，西方媒体歪曲事实的报道层出不穷。 在广西南宁隔离第十一天的柯克·阿佩兰决定在自己的视频节目 Gweilo 60上揭批外媒。
视频中柯克·阿佩兰用最直观的方法，对比了“事实上的中国”与“西方媒体嘴里的中国”，对抹黑中国的外媒话术进行了一一拆分：
不难看出，区区改几个词，外媒就能完成了一篇“黑中国”的报道。而对于很多完全不了解中国的外国人来说，这样歪曲事实的报道，无疑加深了他们对中国的偏见。

柯克·阿佩兰在视频中说道：“西方媒体总会从负面对中国进行报道。我不只是在说美国、加拿大、英国，甚至包含所有的五眼联盟国家或是附庸他们的国家，比如日本。我就不直接提台湾地区了，因为台湾属于中国。”
We all know that the Western media will tell negative stories about China. And I'm not just talking the United States, Canada, Great Britain, but pretty well every Five Eyes country or anybody that's sort of affiliated with them, like Japan. Well, I'm not even gonna say Taiwan region, because Taiwan region is China.
“他们操纵媒体的做法如出一辙。” 柯克·阿佩兰认为：“问题不只在于这些媒体报道的内容，更在于他们描述的方式。他们在用词上耍手腕大做文章。”
They go down the same road with the manipulation of the media, b ut it's not just the stories that they tell you in the news. It's the way that they portray it. It's the language manipulation that they use.
西方媒体话术解析

“ 中国不是调整病例统计方式，而是瞒报了病例数。想想这种说法。无论中国发布什么数据，通过新闻发布给公众，或是分享给国际合作伙伴，他们的数据都不是真实的。如果是坏事，那就是瞒报；如果是好事，那就是夸大。你懂我的意思吧？”
China doesn't revise counting methodologies. It underreports cases. China doesn't revise counting methodologies. It underreports cases. Think about that one. Doesn't matter which numbers they take out and put out in the public, in the news, give their international partners. It's not true is what they're saying. They're underreported if it's bad. If it's good, well then it's over-reported. Of course, you know what I mean?

I hear that from all of the Alt-Right people that... the haters, the Trumpanomics people out of the United States. And there's a lot of Democrats that are doing exactly the same thing, brainwash this and brainwash that...Well, you know, if that's the way you think, maybe you're the one that's brainwashed.
“中国的政府不是面临 治理挑战， 而是面临统治威胁。”

柯克·阿佩兰认为，西方世界的媒体就是日复一日、年复一年地用这些字眼来操纵新闻的。“他们操纵的不只是新闻，他们还在操纵你我这些西方新闻的观众。”
You see, all of these words that they use to manipulate the news in the Western world. But they're not just manipulating the news, they're manipulating you and me as Western viewers of the news. And it's one of those things that they do it very well. They've been doing it for years and years and years.
