#3 Let's ask Gordon Brown whether that be Queen Elisabeth the Second, or just Queen Elisabeth. Boot his arse back to Scotland. |

#2 the company accepted responsibility for "manipulating the chronology" of the footage. You and I, non-journo simpletons that we are, would call that "lying". Michael Moore is a master at this trade, but more subtle versions are everyday occurances. Next time you see news footage of a 'massive demonstration', count the actual number of faces you see in that closely framed shot. Do you ever see the entire street scene or just a tight shot of a half dozen people and signs? Amazing what impression you can convey with careful framing and clever cuts. Once you start noticing it, you will be appalled at how often this technique is used. |

#1 National Lampoon did it best years ago, when they did a picture of the Queen in a housecoat, curlers and with fuzzy pink slippers, a cigarette dangling from her lip, opening a beer while watching TV, in front of which an unshaven, wife-beater t-shirt wearing Prince Philip is sleeping on the couch. |
