【新唐人2014年01月03日讯】2014年的第一天，中共喉舌《央视》再次闹出乌龙事件。在当天《央视》播出的历史记录片镜头中，美国第一任总统乔治•华盛顿，神奇的“被现身”于“南北战争”中，引发网民一片炮轰。
1月1号《央视》播出的历史记录片《魅力记录－－枪》，以中国及世界范围内的老枪、新枪传奇故事为切入点，分析武器的优势与不足，以及对具体战役的影响等。
在播出第五集《狙击枪》时，《央视》对其中一个小片段介绍说：在美国“南北战争”的“布兰迪万战役”中，南军士兵弗格森用枪从背后瞄准一位高大的北军军官，但他没有开枪。而这名高大的北军军官就是乔治•华盛顿。
时政评论员汪北稷：“美国的第一任总统是乔治•华盛顿。南北战争时期的总统是第16任总统亚伯拉罕•林肯。所以它（央视）可以把1789年上任的总统放到1861年，那么这里面相差了88年，这个是非常荒谬的一件事情。”
据了解，美国“南北战争”发生于1861年至1865年；而“布兰迪万战役”爆发于独立战争时期（1775年∼1783年），乔治•华盛顿在独立战争时期担任军中总司令，1789年成为美国第一任总统。
有网民质问：“这是搞笑节目吗？”。
也有网民戏谑：“这南北战争到底打得有多惨烈啊，竟穿越14位美国总统，打到乔治•华盛顿时期了。”
原《河北人民广播电台》编辑朱欣欣：“现在很多编辑或者写作者，实际上是历史基础的知识比较差，再有一个也许是有意的为之，有的时候中共为了宣传，不惜篡改历史，为我所用，它需要把什么材料放在哪，它就任意的来编造历史。”
时政评论员汪北稷指出，作为中共发声筒的喉舌媒体，它的“使命”决定了它会犯这些幼稚的错误。
汪北稷：“它的使命是愚弄人，扭曲历史，所以它报错事情，或者马虎很官僚的去报导全世界的事情，包括隐瞒中国的事实，包括歪曲国外的现象，这个情形比较正常的事情来讲。它也不会觉得这个事情很丢人，或者说很违犯新闻操守、新闻道德。”
去年(2013年)4月，民众整理“央视造假集锦”，其中包括《央视》“焦点访谈”的“一女两身份”的造假图片、和一男两国籍，以及“蝙蝠才是SARS病毒元凶”等造假镜头。
而《央视》造假节目中，最出名的应该是前中共“610办公室”主任李东生，在担任《央视》副台长期间，策划的《天安门自焚伪案》。《新唐人电视台》制作的记录片《伪火》，全面分析了“天安门自焚”伪案，并获得“第51届哥伦布国际电影电视节”荣誉奖。
2013年最后一天，上海一位企业内训项目专家陈宗鹤举报《央视》﹕将一个“不存在”的网站贴到屏幕上“是公开造谣”。他在微博贴出《央视》《环球视线》节目的一张截图 。截图是“推特”网友，对美国总统欧巴马进行的批评和指责。
由于互联网社交网站“推特”和“脸书”被中共长期封锁，对大陆网民来说，这两个网站根本不存在。陈宗鹤的举报得到众人支持，他对《央视》的指控被称作“年末黑色幽默”。
那么《央视》为什么自打嘴巴贴出“推特”网民的话呢？
朱欣欣：“可能它为了选材料，就忘了推特在中国是看不到的，被封锁的﹔还有一种可能，也可能是编辑故意的，也许他对中国这个封锁不满，他有意找一个推特的例子，让观众看看，你看还有这么一个网站。”
《央视》种种恶行早已引发中国民众的公愤，日前，由大陆网民发起的“中国人渣集体排名”，《央视》荣登榜首。

Further Criticism Over China Central Television Errors
On the first day of 2014, the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) state-controlled China Central Television
(CCTV) again made errors in it’s broadcasting.
First U.S. President George. Washington was erroneously
mentioned in a documentary film about the Civil War.
This received criticism from netizens.
On January 1, CCTV broadcast a history
documentary called, “Fascinating Records – Guns".
The film analyzed the advantages
and disadvantages of weapons.
It used stories of specific armed campaigns from China
and around the world, to look at the impact of guns.
The fifth episode looked at the sniper rifle. In one story, the
American Civil War’s Battle of Brandywine was featured.
Confederate soldier Ferguson was described to take
aim at a Union Army Officer, named George Washington.
Wang Beiji, political commentator: “The first
President of America was George Washington.
The President during the Civil War was
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President.
It is quite absurd to mention a President from 1789
in a story 1861, as there is 88 years difference."
There were also further errors. The American
Civil War took place between 1861 and 1865.
The Battle of Brandywine was in the Revolutionary
War, which took place from 1775 to 1783.
George. Washington was Commander in Chief in the
Revolutionary War, becoming first President in 1789.
Some netizens questioned: “Is it a comedy?"
Some netizens also joked: “How tragic the Civil War
continued through a period with 14 US Presidents."
Zhu Xinxin, former editor, Hebei People’s Radio:
“It might be because some editors or authors
have a relatively poor knowledge of history
It might also be that CCTV intentionally rewrote
and distorted history to promote the Chinese regime."
Political commentator Wang Beiji pointed out
that as CCP state-controlled media, its mission
dictates that it should commit such naive mistakes
Wang Beiji: “It’s quite normal for reports to be wrong,
careless and bureaucratic with regard to international news.
Reports conceal the fact about China, and
distort international news, because its mission
is to misinform people and distort history."
They don’t feel shame on violating journalist’s ethics.
Last April, people reorganized the CCTV ‘Fraud Collection’.
This included the picture of “a lady with
two ID’s from CCTV’s Focus program.
It also included one man who had two nationalities,
as well as bats being the leading cause of SARS virus."
The most famous fraud program in CCTV is
former Director of 610 Office Li Dongsheng.
As Deputy Director of CCTV, Li organized the
propaganda campaign “Tiananmen Self-immolation".
NTD Television produced a documentary called False Fire.
This was a comprehensive analysis of the self-immolation
incident, winning the 51st Columbus International Film
and Television Festival" Honorable Mention.
On December 31, Chen Zonghe, a Shanghai Corporate
Training Project Specialist, reported that CCTV committed
public slander by showing a non-existent website.
He posted a screenshot of the program in
question, Global Vision, in his microblog.
The screenshot revealed criticism and condemnation of
U.S. President Obama from a Chinese Twitter account.
Social media platforms Twitter and
Facebook do not exist on Chinanet.
The CCP has blocked access to them.
Chen Zonghe’s allegation against CCTV gained public
support, being referred to as the end of year black humor.
Why did CCTV contradict itself posting false Twitter images?
Zhu Xinxin: “One possibility is that they
forgot you can’t access Twitter in China.
Another possibility was to intentionally show
Twitter to the public, as they know Chinese
people are dissatisfied with internet blockades."
Many CCTV errors have already triggered public anger.
Recently, CCTV was ranked top on China’s “Scum
Rankings", launched by the mainland netizens.
