War Propaganda and the Western Media: Fabricated Images. Fake Videos | Global Research
The New York Times has now admitted it used fake images regarding
an alleged involvement of Russian soldiers in Eastern Ukraine.
Sorry, we made a mistake: The NYT’s retraction is presented as a
technical error whereby the wrong pictures were mistakenly selected.
“A packet of American briefing materials that was
prepared for the Geneva meeting asserts that the photograph was taken in
Russia. The same men are also shown in photographs taken in Ukraine.
“Their appearance in both photographs was presented as evidence
of Russian involvement in eastern Ukraine. The packet was later provided
by American officials to The New York Times, which included that
description of the group photograph in an article and caption that was
published on Monday. … The dispute over the group photograph cast a
cloud over one particularly vivid and highly publicized piece of
evidence.”
What should be understood is that the use of fabricated images is
a routine procedure of the Western media. Its ultimate intent is
sustain the lie and mislead public opinion.
There are many instances of media manipulation.
