Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 This email comes from a well respected friend's friend in Brazil. Those looking at the US chart may be intrigued and disgusted! "All around the world we are subjected to 3 or 4 huge news distributors, and one of them - as you well know - is CNN. Very well, I guess all of you have been seeing (just as I've been) images from this company. In particular, one set of images called my attencion: the Palestinians celebrating the bombing, out on the streets, eating some cake and making funny faces for the camera. Well, THOSE IMAGES WERE SHOT BACK IN 1991!!! Those are images of Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait! It's simply unacceptable that a super-power of cumminications as CNN uses images which do not correspond to the reality in talking about so serious an issue. A teacher of mine, here in Brazil, has videotapes recorded in 1991, with the very same images; he's been sending emails to CNN, Globo (the major TV network in Brazil) and newspapers, denouncing what I myself classify as a crime against the public opinion. If anyone of you has access to this kind of files, search for it. In the meanwhile, I'll try to 'put my hands' on a copy of this tape. But now, think for a moment about the impact of such images. Your people is hurt, emotionally fragile, and this kind broadcast have very high possibility of causing waves of anger and against Palestinians. It's simply irresponsible to show images such as those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having editors in the family and amongst acquaintances I know this practice of using old shots (archive photos) for later situations, if latest are not available. usually these are not very dangerous: one reports about rioting somewhere and uses pictures taken during a previous riot. But in this context it is unforgiveable! To digress: a recent TV feature was about the sensational porn/horror press and the magazines etc. they publish. The lurid tales and accompanying photos (mostly with faces masked out) are fakes. A few who had been involved became disgusted, took up other jobs - and spoke out. The DA said he knew what was happening, but had no control: no crime as such had been committed, the press is NOT SWORN TO REPORT THE TRUTH, such stories were - unfortunately - in the category of 2stoies and novels". Today the computer helps and you can make "convincing" picture of the pope in a brothel. With digital techniques speech can be faked. ANYONE CAN BE FRAMED! THIS IS NOT US MONOPOLY AT ALL, THE WHOLE WORLD PRACTICES THIS! I have heard that certain courts in Germany do not accept photos or tapes as real evidence. MAYA is ruling, illusion is ruling. regards Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
