Since it is the Ministry of Propoganda saying that it is fake, I will continue to believe in the original photo and the origianl photographer

Screw reality all smoke looks like that through a DUmmie smokescreen.

[Budge]

Gawd only knows howw many other faked phjotos we have been fed.

[JerseyDvl]

And the forgeries just keep rolling in. Any chance of an afternoon Funnies post with this recent news?

Reuters admits to more image manipulation

News organization withdraws photograph of Israeli fighter jet, admits image was doctored, fires photographer. Reuters pledges 'tighter editing procedure for images of the Middle East conflict'
Yaakov Lappin

Reuters has withdrawn a second photograph and admitted that the image was doctored, following the emergence of new suspicions against images provided by the news organization.

[PJ-Comix]

Do you have a pic of the latest fake Reuters photo?

[Purrcival]

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

[jellybean]

It's called pre-emptive paranoia.

In my world it's called pre-varicating.

[reformedliberal]

Yesterday, a professional photojourno I know tried weakly to make a case that Reuters was "sandbagged". He is a classical liberal who is on our side more than that of the left and is mostly pro national defense, having served in VN. But photojournalism is his life, not just his profession. Since the wire services are the root of "the news", to distrust them is to distrust everything. I can tell this is an existential moment for him and it must be for many others, as well. 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.

While this will further accelerate the demise of the MSM, where are we going to get the truth from half a world away? Hajj has also done work for AP. All the wire services employ local stringers. Personally, I want factual information. Where are we going to get this? More importantly, since FReepers have many non-MSM sources, where are the majority of people in the West going to get factual information? How do we maintain an open democratic society when no official sources of information can be trusted?

Pour a cup of kool aid (but don't DRINK it) and read this...
FAKE BUT ACCURATE ping

However, in DUmmieland, their reaction is that such doctored photos didn't really matter since they illustrated a "larger truth" or that the fake pics were really part of a dirty Republican trick to discredit the already discredited Leftist media (such as Reuters or AP).

[PJ-Comix]

And the forgeries just keep rolling in. Any chance of an afternoon Funnies post with this recent news?

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.

[Purrcival]

Hey, our soldiers in Iraq are also building schools, hospitals, and homes...but they're CRIMINALS, dontcha know.

[Paradox]

by an online GOP political operative in just a few hours after that program aired.

Hey, do political operatives usually get paid? If so, WHERE's MY CHECK?!

[steve-b]

I will continue to believe in the original photo and the origianl photographer

The photo is Fake But Accurate.

[cripplecreek]

Whoops, looks like they have another.

[mikrofon]

Hezbollah .... build schools, hospitals and homes. I am willing to say they were right there to dig out the people. I do not think this is a group that is just into terrorism.

Sure ... here's another "actual" image showing
them ready to help with the aftermath:

[kanawa]

Thanks PJ, I get the biggest chuckle from the "LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!" comments
and today's edition was good for the hat-trick.

[weegee]

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. I am willing to say they were right there to dig out the people. I do not think this is a group that is just into terrorism.

[The Hezbollah as warm hearted humanitarians argument.]

The Nazis had socialist programs for the "proper" German people. Drug lords in South America buy off the locals too.

Doesn't correct the horrible wrongs they do. It's like the defense attorney talking about a criminal's charitable works.

We deem any group that goes against Halliburton's wishes as terrorists.

[If you oppose Halliburton then you MUST be one of the good guys or so goes the bizarre DUhmmie reasoning.]

The shocking double standard is that the left cannot admit to a single good work ever by Halliburton but CAN point to good things done by Hezbollah, Nazis, and Communists.

[PJ-Comix]

Yeah, you can find the full story about the LATEST Reuters Fake Photo Scandal over at MICHELLE MALKIN.

[JerseyDvl]

As always, you are the man!

[COBOL2Java]

[Yeah, if you fax an original copy of the Constituion, it will end up with proportional spacing and superscripts.]

You mean Thomas Jefferson didn't use proportional spacing and superscripts???

[Grampa Dave]

"Hey, our soldiers in Iraq are also building schools, hospitals, and homes...but they're CRIMINALS, dontcha know."

Yep, according to John Pellosi Murtha, our marines and soldiers are killers.
