Every so often I’ll be watching TV and there’ll be a documentary or a news clip where it seems like lazy or ignorant media person just chose some near-random piece of sort-of related media I actually have seen a WW II documentary about the Blitz and, oh look, here’s a clip of a C-47 sandwiched between clips of HE-111s. Well, it’s all black and white so I guess that’s good enough. This isn’t uncommon. Our weather network, in the early days of the pandemic, had a PSA thanking front line workers (including our military who were supporting our long term care residents), so they had shots of US troops doing good things. Today the Canadian federal budget was released and on CTV Montreal, for the part about the defence budget, they had a still photo of an F-15. Yep, Canada has a shit-ton of those in our inventory. Probably not pit-worthy but FFS this really isn’t that difficult. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lazy-media-people-and-imagery-and-footage/962485)._
