Hi mate. Reporters and writers now use anything they can get and apply it however suits them. Its amazing doing image searches on articles, 90% do it. I read ages ago a story on Chinese fishing fleets raping the oceans, people could comment and in the comments section they were ripping them apart over a picture that showed them hauling in thousands of fish. Thing was the picture was of them fishing in one of their own huge freshwater lakes in China catching carp. Here during lockdowns the main newspaper here in Oz, Herald Sun, showed pictures of people apparently ignoring the rules of distance at a shopping area. They were shoulder to shoulder, some pictures of a similar thing at a beach. Public was outraged over the "selfish un Australian pigs putting others at risk". The same with people at protests, people were called un Australian neo nazis who were spreading death.The sneaky bastards, up until I read that the only thing that raised my hackles was the un evidenced claim of 68 deaths attributed to vaping.
Until other pictures emerged from people who had been there at the beaches, shops and protests showing quite the opposite, everyone meters and meters apart. The media was purposely using camera lenses that compressed the images and footage.
Shame they never showed what really went on here!
Never trust the media.
