Misleading Viewers: BBC Shows Footage of Iraq, says it's from Syria
Thursday, 31 May 2012
The distortion, misleading and outright lying to viewers continues by the mainstream British and US TV stations. The staged photos of children carrying english speaking signs "Remove Assad or he will kill us", "Please save us" is something we have seen prior to the wars in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Iraq, Lybia, and now the same footages are used for Syria.
Last night, the BBC used a footage of dead civilians in Iraq while during it 'news' broadcast claimed this was a massacre by the Syrian Government in a small southern city. The only problem, the journalist who shot the original footage in Iraq spoke out and accused the BBC of stealing his footage without permission. See for yourself.
