Fox News Digitally Alters Images of Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone
- wmeredith 6y agoI have no respect for Fox News, but this is pretty much a non-story. They ran an image of two photos from the unrest in Seattle mashed up together alongside stories of the unrest in Seattle. It wasn’t like it was from Gaza or Escape from New York or something. And in TV news terms it was probably run as a graphic and not a photo of the action on the ground. It’s also worth noting that the resulting photo is really no more shocking or scandalous than the source photos.
- toofy 6y agoPhotoshopping an armed man into a photograph from days ago and implying it was an on-the-ground example of the area is more than a little egregious. If this resembled the current situation even remotely, they would have simply used one of the many photos from the countless on the ground photographers. Saying this is a non-story is absolutely mind boggling.
- krapp 6y agoOf course, if it had been CNN or any other mainstream media outlet this thread would be packed with comments ranting about the liberal media complex, fake news and manufacturing consent. It's Fox, though, so it's not a big deal.
- woodandsteel 6y agoI agree. They wanted to fool people into thinking the situation is worse than it really is, so they faked a photograph.
- cransallinf 6y agoYou can tell “they” are scared. Seems a good thing. The fake city aflame and the photoshop are surprisingly crude fakes though.
