“Soldiers eat children, this fact” – proclaims the poster, which Russian television Channel One aired in a documentary dedicated to the American propaganda materials of the First World War.

The problem is that the poster has never served in the war of information, but rose to the competition associated with the network shooter Team Fortress 2 site DeviantArt user nicknamed “TankTaur” .
“Regardless of any logic and sense, American society had to know that the Germans were evil incarnate” – says the narrator in the film (thanks, International Business Times.)
“Think about children. Join the team today Demoman “- written on the poster. All indications are that Russian filmmakers forgot to check if by chance Demoman is not one of the character classes in the popular Valve game.
This is not the first such case in the media “mainstream”. In 2012, the BBC accidentally published a fictional organization logo United Nations Space Command of Halo during coverage of Syria, and the year before ITV aired a documentary, where a secret IRA recording militias were used materials from the Arma 2.
The Russians previously committed similar mistakes: in July we wrote about the station Russia Today, which used a promotional picture of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain to illustrate the coverage of children soldiers in Africa.
Here you can find mentioned documentary. A key moment in the vicinity of 9:55.
