Some of the highlights

Sarajevo

Two direct reports a special envoy in Sarajevo were broadcast directly one day later. This place was the special envoy to the city Saravejo behind.

A more careful examination of the image, however, showed that the clouds were the same in these two reports! Although he was actually right, but took place in the studio; the background was supposed to be only an illustration ( which in itself is certainly not fraudulent, but it would have been more honest to mention it ).

National Assembly

During the speech of a speaker, the camera shows three MPs who seem to secretly laugh together. However, the logo " National Assembly " does not appear on these images. A more detailed examination of the question shows that this sequence has been inserted as a replacement for the original images: in fact, during the speech, two of the deputies not in the same place, wearing ties, which differ from the previous ones ... and the third is not there!

Manipulated tapes

The show regularly features from other stations broadcast excerpts. With identical pictures there completely different tapes. Especially this was the case with the attacks of September 11, 2001.
