The German tabloid Bild broadcast a video of an explosion in Ukraine during a live broadcast. Internet users unanimously condemned the manipulation by the media, because the explosion actually happened in 2015.
On Twitter, several Internet users hacked the German tabloid Bild and accused it of manipulation. “We don’t care about us in the media?”, “The good old propaganda for Ukraine”, several Internet users say. Question: In one of the live broadcasts from the media, a German reporter present in Ukraine talks about an explosion. The media broadcast the images, but in reality they do not correspond to the images of the war in Ukraine, which began on Thursday, February 24 in Ukraine.
The video on air actually shows an explosion that occurred in 2015 in a port city in northern China. The photos were taken by an amateur. The German tabloid then corrected the video and posted an apology on its Twitter account the day after the broadcast, saying that “our editorial colleagues are working with the utmost care. These mistakes, which we deeply regret, irritate us much more.”
