Dividshub.net is where my images were sent by public affairs when I was a combat camera soldier. I believe they are housed in the pentagon and its purpose is to store and release to the media/public if it was not classified material. Which the classified material was supposedly stored for archival purposes. We were encouraged to have our media uploaded there and to have lots of downloads, meant it was good. All of the military combat camera (each service has one), white house communications agency and public affairs units submit imagery to them. Not sure if its good or bad George is using them

A lot of people are going to look very dumb and shrink into corners if Divid is contacted and their answer comes back in the form of, "Yeah, we got those from George. They're embedded, donchya know?"
--There's really only two ways this can go, and that's one of them.
I 100 percent was com cam. I don't know much about George news other than it's references from here and X-22. I can start checking it out and give an opinion. I know the images summited to dividshub are authentic in that they are taken by the military. A bias or spin may be placed on the imagery how they are captioned by George and when they are released. Add* Public affairs being the releasing authority may have an agenda also the releasing authority of dividshub could too. I guess I can at the moment really attest is that as the documentarian my goal was to get as many well composed and meaningful images but even I place a bias in what and when I chose to start capturing media.
Thank you for the trust and advice. I didn't pay attention to the George information previously because it was said that JFK jr was not alive so I just ignored it. And I'm new. I just had to speak up when I saw all the dividshubs info. I just wanted to put out the info about them as I currently understand it. I don't know what to think about much of anything nowadays. I'm not sure what to think about George but I do hope they are not ripping people off.
I agree that's what it looks like so far to me, very pro President Trump, could be White hats. As far as I understood the images posted on dvids were by people like me to be downloaded a-la-carte with your account. The image was then able to be used by the person for whatever as long as photo - video credit was given. Given that was about 10 years ago may be different. The watermarks are just like the History channel which uses archived Com Cam footage from the wars. Seems like they are fine to use it as long as they are giving credit to source.
I believe the copyright allows for the images/videos to be reused, so maybe they don't care. I emailed the DoD a few days ago though asking if GeorgeNews was permitted to use the DoD logo (they add it to all the videos they reupload) but I haven't received a response.
I'd like to find out as well then we can put this to rest if GeorgeNews is real or fake.
This is one of the few ways we can find out because it would be copyright infringement GeorgeNews would be doing by profiting off their work.
But it would be odd that we would be finding out about this "scheme" after GeorgeNews told us to use tineye to find out whether it's original or fake and GeorgeNews knew we would track it back to this website? Why even bother doing that if GeorgeNews don't want us to "bust" them for being a bunch of frauds, seeing how they're a collective.

Ok so just at a glance the website george news looks like a news aggregate. However I went to the GEORGEnews youtube and the video on the home screen is they appear to be affiliated with White house Communications Agency, which I made a post about previously because I had friends and former family member who worked for them and looked into them and posted that if anyone knows anything its them. If WHCA is around President Trump right now than I'd say that is great news. Their whole job is to keep the president in constant comms and are self proclaimed voice of the president. Combat camera is the eyes of the army. Anyway I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

Why is George news either silent or defensive?

In all this time nobody thought to check the tineye?!?! Sheesh!!
