Propagandists and Misrepresentation

2019-05-22 17:28:15.742323+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Katrina Pierson tweeted about Gaza. The video she posted was filmed 2,000 miles away.

After pushback online, Pierson responded to her tweet, saying the video was simply meant to illustrate what “hundreds of rockets look like.” But the video fails as a representation. The artillery shells shown in the video are ordered and rhythmic; the footage is clean and stable. Rockets fired in Israel and Gaza that weekend had none of these characteristics.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
