I live in Canada and news media here describe the creater of anticnncom as a netizen Whether this is the truth or not is beyond my call but I think it is fair to say that he is described as a netizen by the Western media if you will I am also aware that the media here also imply that anticnn is a government sponsored movement However the media here pickup their stories from sources like Reuters and Associated Press so theres some duplication with the reports from CNN and WP
