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.
