The Media Must Stop Visual Deceptions and Staged Photos. 75%+ of Migrants Entering Europe Are Young Males!
Col. Walter T. Richmond, author of "Hasta la Vista Europe" issues challenge to major media to be truthful with their viewers regarding their deceptive visual portrayals of refugees in Europe
New York, NY, February 22, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Hasta la Vista EUROPE! author Col. Walter T. Richmond is calling for the major media to be truthful with their viewers and to stop making it look like the refugees in the EU are all pitiful sad families with young children fleeing war.
According to Richmond, “the old-fashioned-controlled-media is covering up a massive, cataclysmic travesty - the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ in Europe. The fairytale is that millions of innocent peace-loving families are fleeing war and death, and they can’t wait to return to their homes once things settle down. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Backed by recent United Nations and German government statistics, Richmond quoted the The Jewish Press which reported that “The BBC’s website of 200 images is also dishonest in its refugee presentation – providing a 53% focus on children, 36 percent men, and 10 percent women, whereas the United Nations Refugee Agency revealed that 75 percent of ‘refugees’ were young men.”
“It’s just the tip of a massive orchestrated visual deception,” said Richmond adding that, “we know officially most (75%+) of the ‘refugees’ are young fighting-age males, many who abandoned their homes in search of better economic opportunities. So you would expect most of the media's visual images to reflect these facts. Yet the media insists on cherry-picking and possibly even staging photos of young families with little kids. That’s irresponsible and deceptive. As a consumer of news, who relies on the major media for fair and balanced coverage, I am outraged. In fact, all Americans should be outraged.”
Richmond is challenging the major media outlets to be visually balanced so that what they show their viewers more accurately reflects the truth.
