BBC Caught In Mass Public Deception With Iran Propaganda

[mohsen1985]

Ahmadinejad's supporters' signs are the Iranian flag. Mousavi's are green flags, clothing, face coloring, etc (anything green), hence his "Green Revolution", protests held in his support are characterized by this green color. It's pretty obvious that this picture is filled with Ahmadinejad's supporters, I think BBC who's been watching all these events very closely knows this already. Even 4 year olds know that here. If you're calling this an honest mistake then they must be very very stupid not to have noticed this, or BBC is run by people younger than 4 years old.

In case it wasn't already obvious enough...

It's the same event photographed from a different angle.

The BBC either used it in a genuine mistake, or used it on purpose.

It's true that it's the same event but it seems unlikely it was used deceptively for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, noone denies there were large anti-government protests on a similar scale to the one in the picture so the photo used doesn't actually make any difference to the story.

Also the article wasn't much worth shouting about... fairly mundane and admitted they have no confirmation on the size of the protest. To your average UK commuter the distinction between two crowds of Iranians is going to be pretty difficult so unless we're arguing that the protests never happened at all then using the wrong picture is not going to influence anybody's opinion, which is usually the point with deception/propaganda.

Greetings,

and dont expect the rest of us to buy the nonsense which is written in your deceptive media as well.

Where did I say you should believe everything in the Western media?

I definitely don't remember saying that.

Peace
