Video of Libyan Demonstration in Support Of America RE: Internet Claims Of Photoshop

[SunsetDreams]

There have been some claims circulating around the internet that the photos that came out of that demonstration were photo shopped. As you can see from the video, that claim is false. You can clearly see signs in Arabic as well as English in the Video and some of the same signs and people from the photos.

Here are the photos that I previously posted. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021331089
The Media guy for buzzfeed, or somebody enhanced(enlarged) the photos, and that made artifact appear..which led some to claim they were photo shop images.

Thank you Libyan people for speaking out against the violence and showing your support.

There never was any real reason to believe the images were concocted, only the desire to believe the killing of our people was what 'all' Libyans desired and supported.

6. It doesn't smell right to me

The whole event looks fishy to me, not talking about Photoshopping images, but a phony media event put on by people with an agenda. I've seen too many such things in the past, such as the newly "liberated" Iraqi celebrations. I don't know if the event is real or not, but I would urge caution about taking this at face value. The U.S. had a lot of involvement with the supposed grass-roots Libyan uprising, it would make some sense for us to want our public to view the Libyan intervention as a success rather than as something which resulted in anti American sentiment.

Again, i don't know, surprised though to see so little healthy skepticism from DU outside of the discussion of whether o not the photos were real.
