Fwd: CNN using 1991 footage of Palestinians celebrating the invas ion of Kuw...

--
Welcome to the wonderful world of war propaganda.

Prior to WW II, people were aroused by their leadership to patriotism by
images of horrible deeds of the enemy, and then people learned that sometimes
those deeds had been faked to make the enemy look worse than they really are.
 So it was that many Jews heard about the death camps, thought it was all war
propaganda, and went to the death camps, but if they had believed, they might
have escaped before it was too late.

There's things some people have done that was not smart, so their friends
will be engaged in damage control.
There are people who are extremely anti-Muslim & want to put Muslims in a bad
light.
There are people who want to put Bin Laden & his organization in a good light
... oh yes we believe in terrorism but it wasn't us that did Sep 11.
There are people who are so interested in their own greed that they see
nothing wrong with exploiting this latest situation with scams.

The internet has always been full of wild speculations & false stories, that
seem believable.  In the USA there is a Truth in Media Organization that will
need to investigate charges like this, perhaps we need Congressional
Hearings, perhaps such organizations need help from more people who have
helped them in the past.

CNN using 1991 footage of Palestinians  celebrating the invasion of Kuwait

Brazil
By Márcio A. V. Carvalho

 All around the world we are subjected to 3 or 4 huge news > distributors,
and one of them - as you well know - is CNN. Very well,  I guess all of you
have been seeing (just as I've been) images from  this company. In
particular, one set of images called my attention:

the Palestinians celebrating the bombing, out on the streets, eating  some
cake and making funny faces for the camera.
Well, those images were shot back in 1991. Those are images of  Palestinians
celebrating the invasion of Kuwait! It's simply  unacceptable that a
super-power of communications as CNN uses images  which do not correspond to
the reality in talking about so serious an  issue.
A teacher of mine, here in Brazil, has videotapes recorded in 1991,  with
the very same images; he's been sending e-mails to CNN, Globo  (the major TV
network in Brazil) and newspapers, denouncing what I  myself classify as a
crime against the public opinion.
But now, think for a moment about the impact of such images. Your  people
are hurt, emotionally fragile, and this kind broadcast have  very high
possibility of causing waves of anger and rage against  Palestinians. It's
simply irresponsible to show images such as those.
