We have at least four media shows at Qana. The chronology is hard to calculate for the moment but, it is not hard to get them:
The parade of bodies - I didn't see any remarks about it but the media did a good effort to show the bodies near the building and the people going around them. Probably, no second intentions were behind it.
The baby being shown to everyone - yes, this is a show. The body was rised so it could be shot from several angles.
"Stretcher Alley" - Yes, at least the media did overcome itself there. People and bodies were shot from several angles and quite frequently.
The bodies being unloaded - Yes, here we can also see that the media took a serious effort for the show.
There is also a few shots showing "Green Helmet" and "White Tee-shirt" on backgrounds that one cannot determine. With those bodies that Mr. North claims to be part of the staging. Interesting to note that the moment "White Tee-shirt cries" on some of these shots, he cries in the direction of the photographer right in front of him, one can note this by the shadows on the ground and one photo showing both men.
Now, is this a ground to prove Mr. North's story? No. Because Mr. North clearly ignores photos, details on photos (very important ones btw), clearly sees his own mistakes and keeps the mouth shut (or the fingers away from the keyboard) and, on the top of all, creates a story. A story that does not fit with anything we can see there. That only comes up because it is driven by the fact that a show did occur. But the interpretation is completely arbitrary. No matter the truth of the showmaking, Mr. North's story is clearly an invention he made up by himself. He accuses BBC of overdrive. But he, himself, overdrives even further.
Hope not purposedly. That's difamation no matter the background that supposedly supports it. And that's criminal.
