Fox News caught doctoring photographs to make protesters look violent

 

Fox News has apologised after posting digitally altered photographs on its homepage that made Black Lives Matter protests in Seattle appear violent. 

Owned by Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Fox News posted photographs claiming to be from a protest in Seattle that was actually a combination of pictures from different cities.

 

One of the doctored photographs showed a man holding a rifle in front of a store with broken windows.

Another picture showed a burning car and store with a person running down the street with the caption "Crazy Town."

 

That photograph featured alongside an article about protests in Seattle, but the photo was actually from St. Paul, Minnesota, taken on 30 May, according to The New York Times, CNN and The Seattle Times.

Fox News removed the photos after several inquiries by The Seattle Times, which called the incident "a clear violation of ethical standards for news organisations".

My only problem with the article was its calling Fox a 'news organization'. If that's a news organization, so was Goebbels's Der Angrif. 

 

The only reason I won't  be happy to see the end of Murdoch is because Lachlan is said to be even worse.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
