Fake Images

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

The artifact I chose is a Danish written Article. The article shows different pairs of photos taken at the same time. The Article educates its readers with how the media can deceive people using photos, by photo editing, using different angles and different types of camera lenses.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

This Article shows how Mainstream news sources (for example CNN or FOX) can show its viewers misleading photos. During this Pandemic it is very important to get the full story of everything that goes on across the country involving Covid-19. This causes these images do more harm than good, when educating viewers on Covid-19. I feel it is important to stop the spread fake news, especially when a deadly virus is involved.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
