Remember the old Iraqi gal showng "proof" of having her house shot up? Holding up to unspent rounds of ammo? Media swallowed it hook, line and sinker

Does that round on the right look like 7.62x39?

An apathetic public gets what it deserves.

The only way to fight this abuse is publicity. Large companies and public figures (except Hollywood and rappers) don't like negative publicity.

Wasn't it NBC (or CBS ?) 20 years ago that started a fire under an Oldsmobile, filmed it and claimed it was proof that they spontaneously burst into flames?

Can't remember which of the old-time networks did it but one of them did jerry-rig a pickup truck to explode thus "proving" it to be unsafe.

Sounds like the organizations asking for money for poor in other countries all using the same "poor children" models. Start noticing and you will see the same children over and over.

The source in this thread is more questionable than CNN. But even if CNN did use a fake video it is certainly not the first time the media made up a story and it won't be the last.

I don't know. If anybody knows what faked/doctored video looks like, it is the folks at Breitbart. That's not to say that I approve of CNN, or anybody else, using fake or misleading footage.
