In November 2019, as U.S. President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Afghanistan to celebrate Thanksgiving with members of the U.S. military, a photograph started to circulate on social media that supposedly showed a screenshot of a Fox News broadcast. The image was captioned Fox propaganda posts a fake picture to show soldiers excited to see Trump in Afghanistan and was shared with the claim that the news network had staged a photograph at Universal Studios in order to make it look like soldiers were excited to visit with the president: One Facebook user wrote: Fox proves it is fake news ... forgets to remove the Universal Studios sign from picture of soldiers they claimed were in Afghanistan excited to see Trump ... This is not a genuine screenshot from a Fox News broadcast. Furthermore, this image was digitally manipulated to include a Universal Studios sign in the background. The original photograph was taken by Olivier Douliery and truly shows U.S. soldiers cheering as Trump arrived at the Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving Day. The picture is available via Getty Images with the following caption: In the original photograph, no Universal Studios sign appeared in the background.
