Iran Protests ..... Hyped? http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/iranprop.php I'm sure there ARE protests going on, and im sure there ARE people getting hurt and killed ..... BUT ..... Why fabricate evidence?
well if you look at those images the flags don't seem to be the same? maybe that is just a good spot to take pictures of a crowd in that square?
I think you're probs reading too much into this Brid. It's more likely the BBC re-used an existing photo just to save time and chopped it about a bit to make it fit the page.
Yep thats exactly what they did. But should they be using FAKE images to back up a story? Thats like showing an advert about the dangers of Extacy, and then showing a picture of a dead skag addict with a needle in his arm. People take this information, and the images they are presented with as truth. We deserve better than this - especially since we are paying the fuckers to do it!
