Manipulating Video Images: Sloppy Journalism or War Propaganda? The BBC's Fake Images from Tripoli

Green Square Tripoli. Libyans are seen celebrating the victory of Rebel forces over Ghadaffi in this BBC News Report (see below)
Examine the footage: Its not Green Square and its not the King Idris Flag (red, black green) of the Rebels.
Its the Indian flag (orange, white and green) and the people at the rally are Indians. Perhaps you did not even notice it.
And if you did notice, "it's probably a mistake".
Sloppy journalism at the BBC or outright Lies and Fabrications?
Recognize the flags?
Indian Flag
Libya's Rebel Flag (King Idris)
This is not the first time images have been manipulated or switched.
In fact it seems to be a routine practice of the mainstream media.
Terrorists "celebrating" in Green Square
There is no celebration. It is a NATO sponsored massacre which has resulted in several thousand deaths.
But the truth cannot be shown on network television. The impacts of NATO bombings have been obfuscated.
The rebels are heralded as liberators.
NATO bombing is intended to save civilian lives.
The images must be switched to conform to the "NATO consensus".
Death and destruction is replaced by fabricated images of celebration and liberation.

War Propaganda and War Crimes
Media disinformation in relation to war is categorized as war propaganda, which constitutes a criminal offense under international law
This form of reporting constitutes a war crime, because the intent is to obfuscate NATO atrocities.
NATO bombings of Tripoli in the last two weeks have resulted in several thousand deaths. The Rebels are not Liberators as portrayed by the media, amply documented they are Al Qaeda terrorists working hand in glove with NATO:
"War propaganda has entered a new phase, involving the coordinated action of satellite TV stations. CNN, France24, the BBC and Al Jazeera have become instruments of disinformation used to demonize governments and justify armed aggressions. These practices are illegal under international law and the impunity of the perpetrators must be stopped." Thierry Meyssan, Global Research, August 22, 2011)
