I was aware of many of these faked photos already, and I also know that the BBC is not "pure" when it comes to faked or overhyped news.<BR/><BR/>It was nice to read a post that shows there are still people capable of thinking for themselves. We are turning into a society of sheep, foolishly following wherever we are led. You are indeed a Jewel, Blu, with your ability to resist this impulse.The Wandering Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404559867270050616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538189.post-1156474063531366472006-08-24T22:47:00.000-04:002006-08-24T22:47:00.000-04:00i don't believe anything i see on the media in the...i don't believe anything i see on the media in the u.s.<BR/><BR/>i get my info from bbc.comnikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971419502034051817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538189.post-1156472364028309252006-08-24T22:19:00.000-04:002006-08-24T22:19:00.000-04:00Hi Blu,With regards to media news or gossip from t...Hi Blu,<BR/>With regards to media news or gossip from the tabloids (re: celebrities, etc), so much of it is blown out of proportion.<BR/>To me, I feel it really insults reader's intelligence when a headline is blown out of glory and when you read the article, it was just a molehill made a mountain from speculation.<BR/>Sometimes, you know the media has nothing much to say. Then they take a nutshell and exaggerate on it enormously.Suzan Abrams, email: suzanabrams@live.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818807164881810296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538189.post-1156465138995489882006-08-24T20:18:00.000-04:002006-08-24T20:18:00.000-04:00I agree- I try not to buy into the hype...Thanks f...I agree- I try not to buy into the hype...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping, and I have to show some love to another VIRGO/SAPPHIRE...Ms. Confessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040573830472726532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538189.post-1156443567693163012006-08-24T14:19:00.000-04:002006-08-24T14:19:00.000-04:00Hmm, now the little blurb that went with the photo...Hmm, now the little blurb that went with the photo is something I would question. Nobody needs to show how badly Lebanon was hit - it was hit hard, as first hand accounts from Westerners living there will tell you.<BR/>The majority of the media have never told the truth - but it's a question of "who do you believe"? I think at the end of the day the best thing the individual can do is read widely, use discernment and form their own, hopefully educated, view. Certainly don't believe everything you see or hear - certainly not that promoted by media that is known to be biased - particularly if it's biased in favour of a government.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538189.post-1156433594847044122006-08-24T11:33:00.000-04:002006-08-24T11:33:00.000-04:00Man I learned that lesson long ago!!! and thanks f...Man I learned that lesson long ago!!! and thanks for stopping by!!!!<BR/><BR/>I hate the news..

Even keeping in mind that the video was produced by an Israeli web site, the photos are certainly manipulated, and it's an excellent lesson in not blindly believing everything we see. Propoganda has always been easy to produce, and it's even easier in these days of Photoshop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
