Trump gets another TIME cover

No! :wtf: You mean it wasn't really just Trump and the little girl against a red backdrop? There was actually photoshop involved? Who knew!

Nice try. Wrong. The pic implies the girl was separated, and Trump was directly responsible. Neither were true, plus, there was an outright lie in the copy saying the girl was separated...much more than a pictorial implication.

Just like BLM and their Hands up don't shoot this picture is a fraud. When your entire movement is based upon a fraud, and when confronted with this fact your only response is, yeah, well it's still a good representation of what we believe to be happening, you cannot expect to be taken seriously.

Says the guy who voted for an actual fraud.

It's particularly bad because the scumbag photographer knew it hadn't happened the way he portrayed it.

Any ethical publication would have fired him immediately, Instead he will be put up for a Pulitzer Prize probably.

The whole disgusting episode illustrates an important point, namely that people cannot depend on fake news for anything now. They have gone beyond lying to actually faking photographs. The media exist for one reason, to take down Trump and anyone supporting him. They don't even pretend otherwise.

The implications are enormous, as another poster pointed out above. Why would we believe, for example, that Assad "used poison gas on his own people?" Because they produced some photographs? Seriously?
 
The effect that lying in small matters will have on one's overall credibility was remarked upon in Biblical times.

Luke 10:16: King James Bible
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
 
Another problem with a lying media is that it calls the historical record into question. Was it really in our interests to enter WW II? Vietnam? Iraq?

History is essentially a record of what the media are printing at that time. If they are printing lies, as they clearly are now, we have to wonder if they have suddenly lost their integrity or if they did the same thing decades ago.

For example, any objective observer, ie not the media, would look back at Watergate and ask what all the hysteria was about. Like now, it was about getting a president whom they despised.

The only difference now is that social media and greater public sophistication have produced a counterweight of citizens who are willing to push back.

I'm waiting for Time to come out with a photoshopped picture of towering Assad looking down on another picture of a dying child, with the caption "Welcome to your own homeland".

If the implications turn out to be false, because all the pics and copy turned out to be false, it's OK because the implication is photoshopped?

That would only be OK with the side that is trying to ignite a war.

Well, maybe Trump will finally figure out what he's been doing to Assad is being done to him, and rethink it.

I believe the term is "frame", as in, to be "framed", using children as emotional impetous.

I guess "Russian" (influence) is running out of emotional impetous.

'Don't frame lest thy be framed' Luke 34:44?

Exactly. And now that their fraud has been exposed, their new position essentially boils down to "fake but accurate." :D
