Best video about Fauxtographs

Yesterday, I directed you to Zombie for what I thought was the best written summary about the false photos being disseminated from Lebanon. Today I found what I think is the best video on the subject. It’s clear and straightforward. No razzle-dazzle, just the facts.

Nice take.
It’s one of the reasons for why I have said here before, that if I had the Palestinian/Arab propaganda apparatus, I could convince the Democrats of a lot of things they are not convinced of at the moment.
There’s this old video expose about Pallywood scenarios, that is pretty good.

The anouncer in the pallywood expose sounds like the narrator in the aish vid.
There’s also this rather large collection of stuff on propaganda, my own and others like neo neocon’s, as well as some video examples from the real/unreal world.

The sad reality of what all this does is that it just takes all of what we used to regard as “news organizations” and renders them worthless. I no longer have any time for, or interest in, the networks, the big main-stream papers (most especially the NY Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, and LA Times), the BBC, or AP or Reuters.
They have all gone out of their way to establish that they cannot be (and probably never could be) trusted.
That worked when they were the only game in town, but now they’re all withering on the vine of lost audience, and it doesn’t seem to have yet penetrated - especially at the NY Times, (where penetrating Pinch’s concrete-encased skull would always be tricky at best) - that since the advent of the internet they can’t get away with it any more.
How could you be dumb enough to not notice that outside of your immediate family, no one’s watching/reading/listening?
Too many alternative sources. The “mainstream” media is rapidly becoming a drying-up tertiary creek, into which you occasionally check when you need a laugh. Certainly not when you need some facts. Not satisfied with shooting themselves in the foot, they have now firmly placed the gun square against their temples, and are firing away.
This smoke & mirrors tactic is a pure abomination! Is there no accountability in journalism any more, legal or otherwise? Mark Twain really nailed it.
The mainstream media is only mainstream if you consider toilet pipes, garbage polluted pipelines, and toxic waste lines.
Mark Twain would have had a heart attack to realize that his satire became reality.
