New York Times Propaganda Photos on Ukraine Exposed | Global Research

A day after the New York Times published a front-page report
purporting to show the involvement of Russian Special Forces in
protests in east Ukraine, its report, titled “Photos Link Masked Men in East Ukraine to Russia,” has been exposed as a blatant fabrication.

The Times printed low-resolution pictures of
fighters—allegedly wearing Russian insignia while in Georgia, and then
later as protesters in east Ukraine—asserting they were the same men,
thus proving the existence of an armed Russian intervention in Ukraine.
It was based on a crude trick first noted by a commenter on a link
posted on Reddit. The photos in the Times were
down-sampled versions of higher-resolution images circulating online,
which show that the men in the different pictures are in fact not the
same.
