MISLEADING BBC PICTURE SERIES ON SECURITY FENCES

Image is Everything (BackSpin)

The BBC features a pictorial series of the security fence taken over several years. The shots are by Kai Wiedenhofer. A few years ago, Wiedenhofer got into some trouble when photos ostensibly of the West Bank security fence turned out to be images of a different security fence along Israel's border with Egypt.

None of the photos in the Wiedenhofer's BBC pictorial reflect the fact that most of the security fence is actually chain link, like the Reuters photo (pictured left).
