Nothing is Real
From very large and significant matters to very small and trivial ones, the media is constantly massaging your perceptions of reality:
#VanityFair #France has apologised after it was found to have #photoshopped an image of actor #GuyPearce, removing a pin of the #Palestinian #flag that he wore at the #Cannes Film Festival. The ‘Time Machine’ and ‘Prometheus’ star posed for a photo shoot wearing a #badge displaying the Palestinian flag on his jacket. The item was reportedly visible in the #French magazine edition of Vanity Fair, but absent from images shared by the publication’s website and #Instagram account.
Now, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter in the slightest if an #actor wears a #Palestine pin or not. But his doing so violates the #Narrative, which is that all good and right-thinking people support #Israel’s right to defend itself by #bombing #refugee #camps full of #women and #children situated on #foreign #territory, and therefore his action has to be disappeared before it reaches the public eye.
Never forget that if the #media is reporting it, it is almost certainly #false or #misleading in some way.
