ITV Program: Exposure - Fake ITV Game clip:
News Article
The footage used is from a game clip, this puts ITV in a bad light and makes them look fraudulent and fake. Which is true? The Viewers are also effected because the older viewers that probably dont recognise the game are seeing what they think to be this awful shooting. The respect for the people that actually died in the 1988 shooting is lost. Its horrible to think ITV put what they thought was good footage over the life of soldiers. Also people will question the accuracy and liability of future programmes. The event is completely misrepresented.
Frozen planet Polar bear gate
Accuracy:
- People will question the accuracy and liability of future programmes.
