A recent report from Russian news program Russia Today featured a conversation with hip-hop artist and former child soldier Emmanuel Jal, who spoke candidly about his life in war-torn South Sudan.
While the report itself is well-constructed, and features rich anecdotes from Jal's personal experiences as a child soldier, the production of it was lacking. During the story, a brief pan across the news studio showed a screenshot of child soldiers holding weaponry and sitting on tanks. While it was a fitting image for the report, the problem with the screenshot was that it wasn't a real picture. The shot had been taken from official screenshots provided by Metal Gear Solid V.
Again, it's an embarrassing gaffe for Russia Today, but it doesn't make Jal's story any less credible. Watch it for yourself on the Russia Today website. The Metal Gear screenshot appears at the 5:50 mark.
