Social-Media
A Facebook account about MSNBC and World War Z became a propaganda clown.
This weekend an apparent Twitter joke got out of control, falsely persuading users – and perhaps even QAnon 's leader – that MSNBC was running a broadcast with World War Z shootings rather than real protest shots ..
On Twitter last day, an picture and video clip compared the Brad Pitt scene of the world-w War Z film, which is recorded on the national protests this weekend, recounters a fire and smoke plumes aerial view of Philadelphia.
If you look at the trailer of the World War Z, you can see this same shot in the video that either misplaces the news outlet or falsifies it deliberately. But if you look back on the MSNBC video, something else will appear: a tiny label above the "BAD SCOOTER" chyron read.
"Bad Scooter" is the name of a tiny Twitter account that is credited by the video operator but which appears to have deleted the original copy. "That quickly escalated. I also labelled the video above the MSNBC "NOT True," the user tweeted last night. YES, this MSNBC Video came from World War Z. "I underestimated Twitter drastically and many said it was 'absolute' – stupid of myself. The original MSBNC video they had filmed, initially featuring real Philadelphia videos, was also released by Bad Scooter.
*** MSNBC NEVER USED THE WORLD WAR Z CLIP!! PERIOD!

NBCA Universal Alexandra Roberts has said the World War Z video was never used by MSNBC. Roberts wrote an email to The Verge, "To clarify, the posts are false.
Yet the disclaimer of Bad Scooter was not appropriate. A reference screenshot was already unattributed through Facebook. And Q, the mysterious leading figure of an vast and nuanced complot, which accuses Democratic leaders of cannibalism and pedophile, was posted this day at the 8th Forum. "With fake video, [wissly] MSDNC? [AMERICA ON FIRE] narrative pushed by MSDEN? How does this happen? "Q, seemingly grave. Q asked. "The Peoples ENEMY."
QAnon supporters have been confused. Next, 8kun readers blessed Q to alert them of their disappointment. "Thanks for help Q ... without this forum for the world will be a very frustrating time," one wrote. A couple of users then caught the mistake. "It looks like this footage was NOT broadcast on the MSNBC as 'real' in World War Z," one wrote. "The Q-like staring was giving us false details. A new Q post appears to have "confirmed" within a few hours that the MSNBC has not shown the photograph. "Good catch! Good catch!" "Q said to a user who asked whether the picture was wrong.
Well that escalated quickly. YES, that MSNBC clip was from World War Z, I even marked the video above the MSNBC logo "NOT REAL."

I dramatically underestimated Twitter, many pointed it out, some claimed it was "real"-that was stupid of me.

Twitter jokes were pretty bad, as in a satirical excerpt from the book Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff, which misled many users to believe that Donald Trump spent many hours watching the fictional "gorilla channel" on television. It is also normal for film screenshots to round the social media in major events — an picture of the designated survivor seemed to have been passed on last night as a picture of Washington DC. The MSNBC tweet, however, has fueled risky arguments, as seen by Q's "enemy of the people."
Bad Scooter gave another reason after uploading the unmodified video clip. "By no way, I'm not just a # Trump supporter," she wrote. "But I really got up and I'm sorry in my sh*t judgment — piss poor taste."
