Now every photo that displeases the Israeli government will of course be "doctored" or claimed to be doctored -- to some, proof enough.

We'll never know. Reuters has done a communist purge of this photographer's past work. Just as more evidence of faked photos was beginning to surface.

Reuters withdraws all photos by Lebanese freelance

Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer from its database on Monday after an urgent review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and the armed group Hizbollah.

I think El Rushbo was commenting on the civilians killed at Qana and other locations, and how photos were being staged there.

AP Alert

Lebanese prime minister says only 1 person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40...

Green Helmet Guy could not be reached for comment.

[Purrcival]

Awwwww, this Hez-bully looks SOOOOOOO concerned!

[KC_Conspirator]

Whats a matter with these people? The lying photgrapher has already admitted he altered them.

[Purrcival]

That image of Murtha should be tacked up all around Murtha's district.

PJ. I think I pinged you on this yesterday: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1678623/posts?page=384#384

Begin of cited material from DU:
"What the doctored Reuters photos tell us... about ourselves".

"The photos were doctored not by some political agenda, but for one simple reason: sensationalism sells."....

"Finally someone gets to the root.....of the matter. It [doctoring of the photos] was driven by sensationalism. That in turn is driven by greed which is a cornerstone of, and virtue within, conservative philosophy."
End of cited material.

Beside tacking it up. It needs to be handed out across the street whenever his union thugs and renta mob holds a rally for today's Benedict Arnold.

[Purrcival]

...except that the MSM will report it (if at all) like this:

Lebanese prime minister says only 1 person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40...offer not valid in Tennessee (sorry, Tennessee!)

Nothing to see here, move along...

Whats a matter with these people? The lying photgrapher has already admitted he altered them.

That just proves that he's part of the Rovian plot to discredit Reuters and deflect criticism of Israel.

It's easy to "think" like a DUmmie -- just imagine that anything that you don't like is Rove's fault, and the pieces all fall into place.

[BJClinton]

Rather's story was factual.

I am truly afraid of letting these people back into power.

[.cnI redruM]

>>>> was thinking the same exact thing. This type of play worked against Rather, why not obfuscate this situation foo


They egregiously corrected an obvious lie on Rather's part. It had to be a setup!

[weegee]

And now Reuters has withdrawn ALL of his photos (so we cannot investigate them further online, guess the pajama people will have to go to the library, pull out copies of Time, Newsweak, the NYet Times, etc... and look for bylines.

Wonder if a Nexis search would point to the photocredits.

[JerseyDvl]

I'd bet this isn't the first time and Rueters pulled them all when they found a 3rd, 4th, and 5th doctored photo.
If they hadn't pulled them all, this controversy would just keep building.
I am surprised at how much play this is getting despite the lack of drive-by media coverage.

[jennyjenny]

Also Hezbollah is into every thing in that country. Their military part is just a part of the group. They build schools, hospitals and homes.

Uh huh,...I can't think of a single country that has been able to do things like build schools, hospitals and homes without the help of terrorist groups.

I am willing to say they were right there to dig out the people.

Oh, I bet you're right. In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they were there much earlier than that.

I do not think this is a group that is just into terrorism.

Oh my....just...wow.

[freedumb2003]

If they were ever posted then they will be cached in Google, Yahoo, etc.

The Internet is forever. You can't delete anything completely.

[epow]

He also is just totally confused by the one-sided reporting on this war. He really expected the majority of the media to be pro-Israel.

Wow, talk about being out of touch! Where has he been for the last 30 years, living in a cave somewhere? The MSM has been anti-Israel, pro-Arab for as long as I can remember, and I'll turn 69 this week unless I croak before Thursday.

[reformedliberal]

Sigh. Yeah, I know. He is no kid either. He is an expat Yank in NZ who married a Kiwi.

We haven't discussed it in depth, although I echoed what you said, in more specific and rougher terms. I think he reasoned (first mistake w/the DBM)that Israel was attacked first and was in the right to defend herself and that would be obvious to everyone.

There are old journos who are just so sure they are on the side of the angels, they cannot see what has happened to their profession. IMO, at least. Maybe it's just massive denial.

[CSM]

"If you fax a copy of the Constitution to someone, the content of the fax is accurate, but the fax paper is obviously altered from the original parchment. But the facts are the same."

The key element of course would be that the contents if this fax would be verifiable by several independent sources. The Rather memo could not be verified by ANY other source.....That is why it had to be faked!

[gardencatz]

It would probably be redundant since the DUmmie reaction would be the SAME. However, I am thinking of doing an audio podcast of Shocking Personal Revelation II.

Can't wait to hear the stunning conclusion. BTW, you have a sexy voice!

Thanx. BTW, I just flicked on MSNBC to see "The Most" with Alison Stewart. I'm curious to see if she will cover the Reuters fake story scandal since that show is about what is going on in the Web. Come on, Vulcan Ears, don't fail me now!
