Re: lying with pixels
What I found unmsettling about the article was the notion that one of the
propoganda tactics of the Stalin regime has obliquely become standard
practice in certain news and entertainment media today. There was a big flap
- not big enough, probably - about one network doctoring the images it
broadcast from Times Square in New York last New Year's Eve to delete a
competitor's logo from what was actually seen by the viewers.
How long can trust survive?
