I think more today then ever, you have to question every thing you hear or see on the news. Corporate ownership of the media and government pressure has really reduced the credibility in journalism today. Journalists are at their mercy. It's a shame that some retiring journalists can't come out and blow the whistle on how it's controlled. (Although, I do recall Dan Rather giving an interview and talking about how the news media was being controlled).

I see RT likes to do their own jiggery pokery on the corporates, that makes them non-affiliated then doesn't it... not!
The intrigue baffles me, while the rest of the RT report was decent enough, they used that silly scenario, (probably that's where BIN got the silent? clip) not that it matters.
It's still a fault of CNN though, the anchor woman should have been seen in a full studio view facing a wall screen or something similar with the outside reporter on it, and not with her arse facing the incoming pictures.

I fail to see how this is "Shocking" or even the point of this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they arn't doing anything stupid ever, but in this case, they are reporters, probably working on their own parts of the story, from the same parking lot, and well, it was just easier for them to talk via the cameras.

I fail to see how this was a lie or shocking or anything really.

It is not particularly shocking, But I don't think the premise here is correct in the first place, the anchor woman was likely in the studio.

Are you sure they weren't using the same green screen image? A lot of the times the background behind a newscaster isn't real. I thought most people realized this.

Where is the original video?

The funniest thing that I have seen is that some London news studios actually used pastel drawn backdrops of the surrounding countryside. When you actually get there, it's all built up. extra DIV

They do this crap all the time. MSM that lies to its viewers is hardly a revelation.

Major fail. Biggest fail in TV history.

Anyone else remember a time when news was actually news, and not "reporters" or whoever they are standing probably not more than 40 feet away from each other in a parking lot? I do. Boy do I miss those times.

When the media is pretty much owned by those who control our money, and energy supply; which are most likely the real reasons we even go to war IMO, to secure resources, so they exploit people over seas for the resources then they exploit people here at home when ever we try to obtain these resources, it's all for profit and power, so they have to sell the lies, sometimes to sell a war to get what they covet, and some just to keep us distracted from how the world is being raped on a daily basis.

You nailed it. They think the public is a bunch of suckers. I wouldn't even try to argue against it either.

There's different types of reporters. Nancy Grace has a Green Screen behind her. She always does. She was covering the Jodi Arias trial all day today and when she's saying things like "We're outside the steps of the Maricopa County Courthouse here in..." she then has a backdrop of "Arizona" behind her. When she talks about other things, they put THAT corresponding backdrop behind her. It's standard. She's probably in the studio.

You can tell when there's a Green Screen behind her though --it's VERY easy to recognize.

When she says "we're waiting for this bus to go by," she doesn't mean her and the reporter next to her on the screen are at the same exact place. What she actually means is they're waiting for the bus to go by the other reporter (next to her on the split screen) and that noise is being heard in Nancy's earpiece and neither one can hear for a few seconds. Notice Nancy pushes her earpiece in, Banfield doesn't. Banfield is on scene, whereas Nancy is not --if she was really on scene she'd be covering her right ear and pushing in the left earpiece as she tries to squelch the noise. Also, Banfield's hair moves in the breeze while Nancy's remains still.

And when she says things like I just mentioned, things like, "We're here outside the steps of the Maricopa..." she's not saying SHE is there. she is saying that "we are outside," meaning the current story they're broadcasting is taking place outside the Maricopa Courthouse, etc.

It's misleading yes, but they have explained it many times. It's a broadcasting technique to make the viewers feel as they are there with the reporter and therefore trying to make the viewers part of the story --when you feel as though you are part of something, you then take a vested interest in it moreso then you would have.

The most important thing in conversation is to hear what ISN'T being said.



The only thing left to do now is figure out what State, City, or Municipality you represent 'cuz.... You MUST be a politician after an explanation like that. I mean.....that was creative.

Bravo good sir, BRAVO!

wow

You gotta love the reporter though. She doesn't even lose her flow as they walk past her...rowing her boat.



I dont understand what is so unbelievable about the video you posted. A canoe only drafts 4-6 inches...

You can clearly see the water is about 12 inches deep by lookong at visual references in the video.

Please enlighten me..what is fake about the video you posted.

Do you honestly believe she intended to come off as rowing through water, described as "extreme flooding" by the newsroom that cut scene to her report, only a few inches deep?

News reports often insure we see flooding with corner street name signs almost entirely underwater. I do believe that was the effect she was trying for...but it kinda ruins the laugh to have to explain it. lol...

There is a simple reason that the MSM cannot be trusted. They are independent corporations. They are out to make money, not to ensure accuracy. And think about this: the political leanings of whoever is at the top of management, or the owners, ensures that the network is going to present that political view in a good light, while attempting to insult other views. Just look at people like Oreilly. Do you see how abrasive they are, and what they actually try to convince people of? It is a tactic that many cannot see through unfortunately.

Fox is probably the worst, but CNN, MSNBC, etc. are all nearly as bad. They present different sides of the political spectrum. Therefore people have very few choices. If you want to watch real news, you MUST stick to networks that are viewer supported, networks that do not answer to corporate people, and who can tell the truth without getting fired, which is what happens in the MSM all the time. Networks like LinkTV, which is my personal favorite. They also show real television, things that make one think, and open one's eyes to the world as it really is.

I want to puke for doing what I'm about to do, which is kind of defend Nancy
Grace, BUT...There's nothing clearly deceptive going on here. Both frames show the same time in the same city (Phoenix). And even though they might only be a few hundred feet from each other or whatever, it's not inconceivable to me that News organizations would still be lazy enough to use satellite to communicate, in which case a delay is conceivable. They might be in the same parking lot but if their communications are going from earth to space and back, well then yea there could be a delay. And please don't call me a shill, I HATE that psychopath Nancy Grace, but I don't see a lot here to get up in arms about.
