( CNN ) -- CNN has been singled out for criticism for our coverage of events in Tibet through an anti-CNN.com Web site and elsewhere . We have provided comprehensive coverage of all sides of this story , but two specific allegations relate to pro-Tibetan bias . We would like to take this chance to respond to them : . Allegation 1 : CNN intentionally cropped an image in order to remove Tibetan protesters throwing stones at Chinese trucks . CNN refutes all allegations by bloggers that it distorts its coverage of the events in Tibet to portray either side in a more favorable light . We have consistently and repeatedly shown all sides of this story . The one image in question was used wholly appropriately in the specific editorial context and there could be no confusion regarding what it was showing , not least because it was captioned : `` Tibetans throw stones at army vehicles on a street in the capital Lhasa . '' The picture gallery included in Tibet stories includes the image . ( See the gallery ) We have also published images showing violence by Tibetans against the Chinese . A March 18 story shows Tibetan youths attacking a Chinese man . ( Read the story ) Additionally , we have published video from the Chinese media apparently showing Tibetans attacking Chinese interests in Lhasa . ( Watch the video ) » . Allegation 2 : CNN referred to Tibet as a `` country . '' CNN 's policy is to refer to Tibet as `` Tibet Autonomous Region of China . '' In our dozens of stories on the topic to date , we are aware of only two instances where it was incorrectly referenced as a country . CNN 's reputation is based on reporting global news accurately and impartially , while our coverage through the use of words , images or video always reflects a wide range of opinions and points of view on every story .
