    CNN uses screenshots from Fallout 4 in Russian hacking story

    I'm actually starting to feel bad for American public. How sheepish your MSM thinks you guys really are?
    I understand that there are some folks here like RKelly, Greget, D2Bets that just can help themselves but to blindly follow these news stories or braindead sheeple like Mac4Lyfe who thinks that his every single fart is being transmitted to Kremlin, tested and send back by FedEx overnight.

    But what about the rest of you guys?





    CNN mocked for using screengrabs from Fallout 4 in Russian hacking story

    Published time: 3 Jan, 2017 23:34




    © reddit.com



    CNN has been mocked after the news network was caught using screengrabs from the popular post-apocalyptic video game Fallout 4 in a story about “Russian hacking.”




    Vigilant Reddit user Poofylicious spotted something familiar about a recent story about President Barack Obama imposing sanctions on Russia over alleged “Russian interference in the 2016 election.”




    The network had used a screengrab of the very popular video game to tell its story. The post-apocalyptic role-playing adventure features a mini game where players “hack” terminals to get access to computer systems and internal correspondence. The video clip has since been updated and no longer shows the awkward moment.
    In reality, the hacking game is more like a word puzzle in the jumble of letters on the computer screen. Although it doesn’t portray hacking in reality, CNN deemed the footage ideal to use for a story about Russian hacking.






    Poofylicious took a screen grab of the CNN story and the news soon spread on Reddit and other social media platforms.










    While the Fallout image was only used for a few seconds of B-roll during the story, the network has been lambasted for more serious forays into ‘fakenews’. Redditors and social media users were quick to mock the news organization for using the video game footage, with many describing the move as another example of ‘fake news.’

    true...

    however... not that long ago, 4yrs maybe, they had the perceived power to make of break a candidate. especially a Repub one

    M$M did everything they could do to kill Trump... did not work - they are in panic mode now

    M$M did it to themselves! Sadly , Now when an issue is real and needs to be exposed gen public wont believe them. Boy cried wolf too much

    Aljazeera one of the best unbiased news ever. BBC is not that bad either.

    But Aljazeera and BBC would be too boring for the general american pop because they don't add any fake drama.

    your best bet for TV is on CNBC or fox business channel but cnbc is better because they get more people on the show. Nothing is perfect but liberal ass NBC is handcuffed to at least allowing CNBC to provide some truth due to the content CNBC deals with. They are basically forced to tell the truth( sometimes), however, they certainly were complete garbage since Trump entered. Back to normal now with just a little bs hate sprinkled on the side.


    so if CNBC is talking politics, consider whatever they are saying is the exact opposite of the truth. When they bring on small business leaders from all over the country saying year after year how obama is killing the middle class you can actually trust it.

    I hope this makes it into fallout 5 somehow as a funny sidequest. Todd Howard most likely voted Trump, however, the games always use republicans as bad guys.

    The liberal posting stable is conspicuously missing from this thread.

    Last night CNN used the white haired gay to do a documentary on coal miners who now regret voting for Trump(allegedly). They are simply an extension of the Democratic party. Which wikileaks confirmed.

    it should be almost 100%

    anyone that knows me knows that I was pulling for Obama when he first took office. He said a lot of the right things. Then it was clear to anyone that he was just another lying puppet.
