This turned up on my Facebook feed for a dance class I attend. I've blanked a few things out to protect the innocent. Does 'recreating' a dance class count as 'fake news'? Should I attend?
Yeah, Well…

This kind of staging is common in my experience. It's fair enough and pretty harmless, as a camera crew can't always attend a venue at the right time.
I remember when I went on a Buddhist retreat years ago and there was a TV camera crew there who wanted to recreate a meditation session to get the footage they wanted.
RT - Buddhist retreat. StevenL - dance class. What a wonderful mix we are getting on here. meanwhile I'll go back to commune in my shed/mancave. :-)
RT - so this kind of #fakenews is so common we just shouldn't worry about it?
L- this particular dance class has gone downhill, unless you are into necrophilia. So we've started salsa instead, which is 2 women of average age 23 for every man. I'm kicking myself for not starting it years ago!
Keep falling over in the background and when they ask you to sit the next one out, accuse them of disablism.
MW, this is actually very topical at the moment.

You want to worry about people dancing in the background of a news segment you go right ahead. Personally, I think there are much bigger fish to fry.
For television and films it is always about getting "the right shot". The only difference is the degree of manipulation.
They are obviously trying to weed out the right kind of people to 'interview' for their #bbcfakenews slot. People who will drop everything on a Monday lunchtime to go and take orders from a BBC hack and camera crew. Suggestible people.
Yes, that's the sort of thing I mean. Good for him.
