Burma condemns foreign media reports
Updated
Burma's state-run media has strongly condemned foreign media reports of the devastation caused by Cyclone Nargis.
An article in the state daily, The New Light of Myanmar, accuses self-seekers of Faking video footage of the destruction and selling it to foreign media who have used it to harm Burma's image.
It says reports that survivors are living in dire conditions in the Irrawaddy Delta are exaggerated.
Some of the most shocking footage that has emerged from the storm-hit region has come from video shot by Burmese amateurs and circulated on DVDs.
Those who have seen it say the images are difficult to watch, with corpses rotting in fields and families huddled under makeshift shelters in the daily monsoon rains.
