Doctored news confuses general public.
THE scale and sophistication involved in spreading propaganda around the number of casualties at Shapla Chattar during the crackdown by security forces on May 05 has reached new heights. From news reports it appears that some bloggers managed to spread the news that about 2,500 people lost their lives during cleanup operations. This was made possible taking advantage of lax posting controls at the CNN blog website. This “loophole” has been blocked after several such “reports” made it on to the site.
