Narrative Warfare: The Reporters That Were Not There

Last night, I made the following Tweet.

Put the video in that quoted Tweet up in another tab and hold it for a moment. I'm going to show you what I'm talking about.

Below is a video by a man named Anton Petrov. He's one guy doing videos about astronomy and space tech on YouTube. He uses the exact same green screen tech that the mainstream media does. He uses it correctly and for an ethically neutral purpose of minimizing the disruption of presentation that his face being in frame presents. Plenty of other YouTube, Twitch, DLive, BitChute, et. al. others such as my friend Oliver Campbell do this very thing for that very reason. Again, pay attention to the outline around Anton's figure. That's the tell that green screen is being used.

You see this used in completely ordinary ways every day on the local news when the weatherman presents the report and forecast. It's the exact same technology.

Why, therefore, do you see the exact same tells when CNN or MSNBC or the BBC has someone claiming to be on-station someplace but you see that very same outline around their figure? They're not actually there. They're lying to you. They're not on-station. They're in a studio, which can be climate-controlled, pretending to be someplace they're not and reading off a script.

They are using that very same technology to commit fraud, and one of the replies points out that--as we've come to expect from the MSM--they're being noticed now because they are too lazy and stupid to keep ahead of the tide of technological development. They should be using the higher-grade stuff that major Hollywood films employ, but they don't.

Don't believe the hype.
