Journalism is dead. This so-called journalist fabricated fake images of a Trump arrest.

Truth is a rarity nowadays.
The digital content creators make money. Not the people who tell the truth.

No mention of satire....

Prosecutors in New York are thought to be on the brink of filing an indictment against Donald Trump over a hush money payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels. It would mark the first time in US history that a president, past or present, would face criminal charges.Many are envisioning — some gleefully — what a Trump arrest would look like. Among them is Eliot Higgins, best known as the founder of open-source investigative journalism website Bellingcat. This week, Higgins used the AI image generator Midjourney to depict Trump’s arrest. He shared 50 images on Twitter, and they quickly went viral.

As a result, he said on Wednesday, Midjourney appeared to have banned him from the service. Midjourney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (The word “arrested” is now banned on the platform.)

Higgins, 44, told BuzzFeed News that he’s “been playing around with various prompts to see what's possible and how complex you can make it. ” He prompted Midjourney to capture what it would look like if Trump were swept up by police on the streets of New York outside of a building that looks eerily like Trump Tower, how his children would react, and what his life would be like in jail.

Like the guy who did the "Vote for hillary on line" memes ?

Trump is now a "private citizen" not one holding political office and ought to sue the crap out of this guy, buzzfeed and yahoo.

No one needs to say it is satire, it just obviously is. Chris Rock doesn't preface his comedy routine by telling people he is about to tell jokes.

Even if he didn't intend it any humor it is still obvious that it wasn't real nor was he pretending it was real. If he did then I would have a problem but as it stands now, I have no problem. That is my stance.

I am not familiar with that meme.

Private citizen is irrelevant and a weak argument since he is running again anyway. I think this would be a very weak lawsuit
