Over the past few years, traditional media have been rapidly losing public confidence. According to a recent survey, only 33% of Europeans and Americans are positive about national media, while 67% expressed a negative opinion. The problem is the bias of individual TV channels and newspapers, which show us only what is beneficial to them.
The Internet has allowed people to post real-life events that brighten up a true situation. Often two identical pictures show completely different situations. Below are real examples of manipulating the truth from even the most respected media in the world.

Prince William and Kate Middleton announce the birth of their third child to the world
Attempts by the paparazzi to expose members of the royal family in a bad light will always continue. In fact, the prince of the British crown simply announced the birth of his third child.
US peacekeepers help Iraqi soldier, March 2003
It's amazing how one photo can show completely different sides of the war. Many media outlets showed only the left side of the photo, but kept silent about the fact that the soldier was simply given water.
"Studio" of the Egyptian news channel
A talented presenter remains collected in any situation. Even if he has to work in such conditions. Pretty creative!
Mike Pence at the inauguration of President Donald Trump
And Michael Pence definitely has acting talent!
Speech by Theresa May as part of the Hillary Clinton campaign
A professional director in any situation knows how to make a shot successful. At first it seems that several hundred voters came to the meeting. In fact, the room was attended by a force of 100 people. A great example of media manipulation.
Soldiers play tennis with children
No matter how terrifying the first photo is, this is just a harmless game of soldiers with children.
Snapshot of a fake rebel in Lebanon
This photo was taken by photographer Ruben Salvadori in an attempt to create fake hype in the media about the nonexistent youth uprising in Lebanon. However, real photos from the place of shooting quickly spread on the Internet.
Direct inclusion from a "large-scale" rally in Paris
At first glance it seems that the news shows a large-scale protest in Paris, but in life this event turned out to be just a production.
