Answer the test question!Well, let's check. Do you think Assad have used chemical weapons?"Stringers"? Typo?
I don't see how this indicates any manipulation by "strangers" (or stringers). The process of putting together news segments probably does not include exhaustive searches of past segments that might include pictures of the same child in the hands of different agencies...
IOW, I see it as an outgrowth of the very nature of MSM/soundbyte-ism.
It's far more an issue about the reporting of the situation there than of the organization doing the reporting.
Not sure how you are separating the two, unless you're saying the same thing that I am.
I'm saying reports from stringers in areas like the Middle East are unreliable regardless of who is doing the reporting.
And "stringers" isn't a typo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stringer_(journalism)
Reports from stringers in the Middle East are unreliable.
Therefore we cannot know what is really happening.
Read my post in its entirety.
Any ideas you might glean from reading only a part of it have only a coincidental relationship to my point.
Any questions you have that don't concern it's entire content are irrelevant.
Quoting only a part of it is pointless.
