All is 'calm' in Tibet



Chinese State TV is reporting that all is 'calm' in Tibet after violence on Friday.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world media seems to think the place is in chaos with over 100 people dead, according to CNN.
However, stories about Tibet on CNN, Reuters, MSNBC and other internet sites are blocked at the moment.
On CNN, half the homepage is invisible, presumably because it mentions Tibet in the headline.
The connection drops when you try to access their Video section. Same story with Reuters. It's fine unless you click on stories about Tibetan violence.
If there really are to be protests about Tibet, Taiwan, Darfur and Lord knows what else at the Olympics, we can expect a total media blackout.
