It seems now generally acceptable for media to lie. We all know it does and we don't care. When there's a story about Starmer trying to get a deal with Trump, footage of them meeting weeks ago is used to con the morons (most of us) to think they are meeting now. A lie. But we happily accept it. This is the 21st Century. Good luck to humanity.

Two words.

Operation Mockingbird.

The media have always used previous footage or photographs to illustrate a new story. For decades.

Did they purposely imply this was a new meeting?

Can't see a problem here unless they deliberately deceived viewers.

There is no problem Hedda; just an observation.

I know where you're coming from JK and agree, the media is overall, absolutely ghastly (and I was a part of it !).

There are still some good people though battling through the stodge and mis-reporting and games.

I can be quite schizophrenic about it all though..such as my intense dislike for Rupert Murdoch's regime yet when I worked for him I loved how he paid well and on time with never a problem even though I cherish the moment he told me to "fuck off" once.

The Daily Mail is a good example. Absolutely ghastly right wing stuff at times yet will be the first to expose dodgy people and false accusers.
