That one is laughable of course, but the more subtle ones such as the staged palie "casualties" even though uncovered as frauds continue to be passed around the web posing as truth successfully inflaming their illiterate target audience.

This one famously illustrates the how the written and broadcast copy work hand in hand with selection from a series of stills to present an altered version of reality. And done with skillful deliberation by news agencies and final outlets. Even knowing that the "victim" was a captured terr not in uniform it nonetheless evokes a visceral reaction. Too many retain that imprint forever.
