Fake colorised photos - HMS Eagle Flycatcher







'Fake news' and the role of social media in distorting 'news' and impacting on important events is very much a talking point in today's world. From 'fake' followers that are paid for so many favourable comments on youtube and twitter, to 'fake' stories on Facebook and google. They are all at it - making billions by posting ads alongside dubious content 'created' by trolls and other undesirable characters. In addition places like Facebook are awash with horrible fake colorised photos that are not real. Fake history..like this 'incredible' image of a Flycatcher from HMS Eagle during the 1930s (?)
