Most importantly, however, the previous “color revolutions” underscore the crucial role of world public opinion and the global mass media that shape it. As in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, the fate of the regime and the country may well hang on whether the current government is portrayed on the world’s television screens as a violator of human rights that is thwarting the will of the people and thus rejecting “generally accepted democratic values.”
但最为重要的是，从前的“色彩革命”无不强调了世界舆论和塑造舆论的全球媒体所能起到的关键作用。正如在格鲁吉亚、乌克兰和吉尔吉斯斯坦，执政当局和整个国家的命运很可能就取决于世界电视报导是否将现任政府描绘成抵制民意的人权践踏者，因为只有这样，才能促使人们摒弃“被普遍接受的民主价值观”。
