Simone Moore would like to report a massive display in propaganda that appeared in the evening edition of the Evening Standard, Wednesday the 9th April.

The front page has a massive photo on it with the heading 'Jubilation on the streets of Baghdad FREEDOM'

The photo is a still taken from BBC News 24. This massive image has been very obviously doctored in a programme such as Photoshop. The image features a massive crowd of Iraqi's celebrating in the streets, HOWEVER in the mid and background it is possible to see how numerous photo's have been cut and pasted together to create the illusion of there being a massive crowd present.

... they would never do anything like that. you can "always" trust the corporate press to give you the best, most unbiased information in the world. american and british corporate press takes pride in modelling themselves after pravda, a global model of journalistic integrity. at pravda, and other such news agencies, such as CNN and FOX and the Evening Standard, the motto is: "The closer our line to the government's line, the better the journalism. A mouthpiece is a beautiful thing." so let's give a big hand to the merging of state and media. we should be proud. ignorance is strength. war is peace.
