2017-06-05
Gotta click the link for all the Twitter and video imagery that go with the comments I grabbed below.
A video released a day after the Islamic terror attacks in London show a CNN crew staging a scene with Muslims holding signs saying "ISIS Will Lose".

The following is a screenshot of the signs:

CNN’s Abu Dhabi Managing Editor, Becky Anderson’s original video was posted to her official Twitter account where she called the London terrorists a ’handful of twisted fools hell-bent on taking lives’.

Below is a video of the behind-the-scenes work CNN did to stage the photo-op with Muslims holding up signs that read, ’ISIS WILL LOSE’.

The original post came from Mark Antro, a Londoner who captured the video:

Mark Antro also tweeted out that BBC wanted to film it...

Antro also notes that white police officers walked out of the scene and were replaced with Asian officers:

According to a British viewer, BBC News also used this staged photo-op:

Raphael Satter, a journalist for AP also posted a picture to his Twitter account of the staged photo-op:

English newspaper columnist for the Daily Mail, Katie Hopkins chimed in as well saying, "Please watch. You are being deceived."
