Both Reuters and BBC routinely use fake photos, staged "news" photos, and falsely-captioned photos in support of biased "news" coverage.

They are doing the same thing with the forest fires in the Amazon. So does this come as a surprise to you?

Really? Those fake pictures were on internet blogs. The Amazon fires are real and the devastation caused by hurricanes is real. The damage from tornadoes are real. But I don't suppose you were in any of those situations, so it is easier to use your favorite Trumpism and believe Faux News instead.

The fact that the damage is real doesn't mean that the photos are real. The photos are documented to be fakes in both cases.

If you bothered to check almost all of the fires in the Amazon involve clear cutting and then burning so that they can farm. Bad, but not the uncontrolled fires that are being claimed.

As far as Dorian it is a monster storm, but the photos from the air are from different hurricanes not it. Both are newsworthy, but in both cases the photos are partly false.

If you look, the initial post is by one of the liberals on the site. The fact that some of the photos are false has nothing to do with whether or not the incidents are problems, but false reporting is one of the major reasons that people don't believe the news, and that is a big problem.

Foxy News gives you what you want to hear but not necessarily the truth

The liberal MSM lies consistently.
