“by innuendo, they are claiming it is footage of C-19”
Nonsense. They made no such claim, by innuendo or otherwise. The use of stock footage on television news is ubiquitous and if your argument held any water, you should have been upset about this kind of thing long, long before the Covid-19 outbreak.
I could go out today and take video of people shopping without face masks or social distancing. So I could just as well make the claim that a photo of a man with a mask shopping is “intentionally deceitful”.
But both claims would still be bogus.
Stock footage: An article about me giving a speech somewhere and you used stock footage of me giving a speech.
Implying there are lines at the store by using an image of lines that were a result of a completely different event: FAKE NEWS. Because there are NO LINES.
“Implying there are lines at the store by using an image of lines that were a result of a completely different event: FAKE NEWS.”
I guess you can try and make that stretch, but without the accompanying story to show that they actually are saying that this photo is proof of lines outside a store, that’s some pretty weak sauce.
Problem is, Boogieman, they used an individuals image and FACE without his permission. THAT is a problem.
So, showing footage of a Wuhan flu hospital ward, in Italy, and saying it’s NY, is okay by you, too?
Are you seriously defending CNN?
That is some pretty weak sauce.
Lol, the last refuge of someone who can’t make an argument, attack them for even daring to take a stance.
So you are defending the indefensible.
No, I’m simply refusing to condemn CNN for some stupid thing that every single television news show in existence does every day.
I’ll condemn CNN for a million other things that they do that actually deserve condemnation, but using stock photos in the background of a new story?!? I’ll pass on that one.
Well, finger pointing right at the first person who went to that corner. YOU!
No, that would be intentional deception. That’s not what happened here, though, is it?
Why is that a problem? It’s completely legal to use footage of anyone taken in a public place, with or without their permission.
Huh? When did I do that?
Quote the post or it didn’t happen.
Showing Harvey grocery lines for China Flu virus grocery lines?
I’d say that’s pretty deceptive.
CNN needs to apologize.
They never do, that I know of. :(
“Showing Harvey grocery lines for China Flu virus grocery lines?”
Well, that’s the difference here from your previous example. Did CNN actually SAY this was a picture of coronavirus grocery lines?
If so, then it would be the same as your previous example, and deceptive. If they didn’t, then it’s just a stock photo like any other stock photo, and if you assumed it was directly relevant to the story, then that is your mistake, and not CNN’s deception.
Sure, it could be that CNN is counting on people making such a mistake, but that’s still a far cry from your previous example of intentionally mislabeling one thing as something else.
