Why is CNN wrong for using video game footage as an illustration?

Why is CNN wrong for using video game footage as an illustration?

I mean, it's not like the entire segment was based on it, the reporters didn't refer to it

No it is perfectly okay for a reputable news source to use fictional footage to present real news

...

>the average documentary involving hacking scenes

Holy shit, is this real? Hahahahahahahahahaha

No

Yes, because they created a montage, and just like every other time the topic is about hacking, every news, documentary, film, etc. always use some stereotypical hacking footage

its called dramatization, even fucking commercials will say "acting dramatized" or something along those lines. a news organization shouldnt dramatize/romanticize something so false because it actually does affect some stupid people

*couple of seconds of, ready, high quality footage in 24/7 news broadcast

love this new meme

What did CNN mean by this?

Because it conveys that they are childlike with little understanding of the subject they're reporting on. Journalism used to be a respected profession. Not so much anymore.

Why do you think using Fiction to illustrate a point is bad when people are demanding facts? Are you retarded?

Let me put it to you like this. I want to know if it's raining outside, if all that shows up on the news is video game footage of rain, it REALLY DOESN'T HELP ME KNOW IF IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE!

considering how retarded their viewers are, they weren't wrong at all for doing something so unfathomably retarded.

Agreed, they should use real hacking footage instead.

The people stupid enough to believe that this is real hacking would have already believed it

This borders on fucking superstition.
>If you wear a horseshoe the evil hacking ghosts will leave you alone

"Hacking" meaning I guessed your password is 'PASSWORD1'....

Actually, Podesta's email wasn't even hacked, someone gave the password to a phishing site for some 'free porn'...

Its FURRY STOPS actually

Yes because it's stock footage and cheesy 'hacking' footage gets used all the time in stories involving 'the cyber' as the US President calls it

They didn't say "we have exclusive footage from inside the Kremlin cyberwarfare operation center, here it is"
