"Having received propaganda education for years, many believe that sloppiness or ignorance by the western media is in fact a conscious campaign to distort the facts, and that CCTV reports on the violence in Lhasa represent the whole truth." The first assertion, about the distortion of facts by the western media, is something that the first clip does a good job of supporting. Putting a caption on a photo of an ambulance claiming a heavy military presence - who could be so stupid?As for your second assertion - that they beleive everything that CCTV tells them - where is that claim made by either of the two video clips. Perhaps face-to-face some people have said that, but we can't assign that belief to the makers of the videos without proof.Both of these videos are making very valid claims, even if we don't fully agree with them. I think that that really needs to be better acknowledged. I’m not sure that you are being fair to the creators of these clips.
