The snow season is a positive phenomenon for snow lovers or snow sports enthusiasts; it is a negative phenomenon when snowfall affects daily life. However, some netizens found that China Central Television made a distinction by saying: “Snow in China is positive energy, while snow in the United States is negative energy.”

According to “China Central Television News” report citing sources, when the Chinese capital Beijing ushered in the first snow and rain this year on the 12th and 13th, the snow accumulation reached 60 centimeters. The report called it “happy snowfall”, and claimed that heavy snowfall can improve air quality, enhance public health, and even help promote spring agricultural production.

However, when reporting the snowfall in Washington, the capital of the United States, the depth of snow in Washington was only 59 centimeters, but it was called a “sudden blizzard”. Blocked, resulting in car accidents again and again.

Some netizens laughed and said: “(in China) this centimeter, the quantitative change has caused a qualitative change”, “Even snow has such positive energy, this is such a dark land.”

However, the double standard of reporting does not seem to be the only problem with China Central Television. Some netizens questioned: “Where did the 59 centimeters of snow come from in Washington?”

Data from Reagan Washington National Airport showed that from November 1 of last year to January 8 of this year, the amount of snowfall in Washington was too little to measure, according to the Washington Top News (WTOP) report. , making snowfall 4.3 centimeters below average so far this season. In fact, Washington is experiencing a “snow drought” rather than a “blizzard”.

It seems that in addition to double standards, the relevant reports of CCTV also have slight deviations in accuracy.
