The website, http:\/\/www.anti-cnn.com\/<\/a>, has posted an open letter asking all Chinese to rise up against the "Western Goebbels' Nazi media", a reference to German dictator Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, the China Daily reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The letter could not be found on the website on Wednesday, but it was posted on a number of online forums for overseas Chinese.<\/p>\n

"The Chinese nation, peace-loving, refined and cultivated, has long swallowed humiliation and submitted to insults. It can no longer be a silent lamb," the letter said.<\/p>\n

The website brands CNN<\/a> as the world's "leader of liars," exposing what it calls errors in reporting by the US news channel and other Western news outlets, including British and German newspapers and the BBC.<\/p>\n

The letter asks all Chinese to send protest letters, faxes and emails to Western media organisations asking them to apologise for false reports on Tibet.<\/p>\n

The unrest against Beijing's rule of the Himalayan region began on March 14 and soon spilled out to other parts of the country with Tibetan populations.<\/p>\n

Tibet's government-in-exile says 140 people have been killed in the unrest over the past two weeks, while China says there have been 20 deaths.<\/p>\n

The launch of the website comes at a time of increased verbal attacks against foreign media in China.<\/p>\n

Authorities have strongly criticised Western media for its alleged biased coverage of the riots in Tibet, and the criticism has been widely covered in the Chinese press.<\/p>\n

But foreign reporters are still barred from going to Tibet or the neighbouring affected provinces, save for a small group of Western media going on an organised government trip to the Himalayan region on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
