All Your Fakes Are Belong To Us

This video mocks the MSM’s use of fake images. I enjoyed it.

I like the music and the Jawas, but what exactly is it trying to say? That people in Lebanon aren’t being bombed?

No - it’s pointing out that the Main Stream Media can be biased and are not above faking news. Or being deceived by fake news. Just because you see it on the BBC or CNN doesn’t mean it’s true. They may be more reliable than word of mouth, but you’ve still got to take their articles with a pinch of salt.

I’ll take my pinch off of the Fujiyama-sized pile I dump on Fox News’ stories. :slight_smile:

You are misled if you believe you don’t need similarly-sized piles for other sources.

In the spirit of fighting ignorance I should point out that the above video is almost a complete ripoff of one of the original AYBABTU videos circa 2001/2002.

From the link:

While I do agree that there were fake images coming from Lebanon, so far what I have seen were real pictures that were enhanced with items that were not there, (One big exception being that Australian ship) there is an effort to mislead that needs to be condemned all right, but unfortunately Israel created lots more images that did not need any enhancements.

As the Israel government is being blamed in this fiasco by the people of Israel, realizing some images were altered by Hizbollah is not now a huge issue, specially when the reporters that showed favoritism to the terror group were canned.
