Sorta like how the Sci Fi channel was all about pro wrestling, fantasy, action movies, pretty much anything but science fiction.
When I was a little kid (a long time ago) the snarky wisdom was if a country had "democratic" in its name, it wasn't. The snarky wisdom today is a cable TV channel broadcasts everything except what its name would imply. So the History channel never broadcasts anything factually historical, the sci fi channel never broadcasts science fiction, or The Learning Channel only broadcasts fashion and style never anything educational. "Home and Garden" TV is endless real estate "FIRE sector" complimentary copy, containing no garden shows. Even the weather channel pretty much stopped weather forecasts and replaced it with agitprop documentaries that the faithful don't watch because they're already faithful and the unfaithful don't watch because they're nonbelievers.

then it hit me that almost all of the video shown on these things is just for aesthetics / effect and not actual footage from the topic in question.
then it hit me, the news was actually doing the same thing! like they would be talking about an event concerning the nimitz and would show stock video footage of the JFK
About this topic, its amazing how many people claim that its pro-science but never ask for proof, or scientific method.
i remember watching ww II battle documentaries, and they would be talking about a battle, say battle of the budge. and I would be like 'wait a second, that stock video footage was a corsair shooting a drone. then it hit me that almost all of the video shown on these things is just for aesthetics / effect and not actual footage from the topic in question. then it hit me, the news was actually doing the same thing! lik…

Not that I can really complain, though, since it's gradually becoming what the SciFi Channel could've been before it got renamed to SyFy.
