Dirty tricks

[MickeyD]

Looks like it is getting messier and also less intelligent...

This "article" appears on the NewsDaily page.



Note the very unsubtle "who is believed to be a supporter of the Democratic Alliance" inserted into the "article".

Now here's the problem...

That footage is from an attack in the Bronx last year !!!

BEWARE - FOOTAGE IS NOT FOR SENSITIVE FOLKS

Not very clever.

Haha, fail.

I've never heard of NewsDaily and the link is blocked. Is it an actual news site?

 

[Neoprod]

I don't think actual journalism is top of NewsDaily's list of priorities.

Also, that's just Daily News reversed...inspired or what?

 

[LCBXX]

More credibility damage the media and journalism.

Do you really think that folks spreading this garbage care about the source?

"Please note we have removed the video because if it's violent nature and racist remarks"…

Not because it was from another country.

Note the very unsubtle "who is beliebved to be a supporter of the Democratic Alliance" inserted into the "article".

I don't belieb[sic] it

 

[MickeyD]

Please tell me you counter posted it.

Yep, but not the the source site.

"Please note we have removed the video because if it's violent nature and racist remarks"…

Not because it was from another country.

My message to them was "maybe if you watched the video before removing it, you would have realised that it was from an incident last year in the Bronx". They have not responded yet...
