Top 10 Doctored Photos
Time ^ | 9-16-2009 | none given

Civil War Generals, c. 1865 Generally regarded as the world's first commercially successful photojournalist, Matthew Brady was also one of the medium's most accomplished manipulators. In this group portrait of William Tecumseh Sherman and his top officers, he added one figure. For the record, the men are, standing, from left: Oliver Otis Howard, William Babcock Hazen, Jefferson Columbus Davis and Joseph Anthony Mower; seated, from left: John Alexander Logan, Sherman, Henry Warner Slocum and Francis P. Blair.

The Original Image: Brady added Blair at the far right. One of Sherman's corps commanders in the critical final offensive in Georgia, Blair led the XVII Corps, which protected the rear of Sherman's army during the Atlanta campaign. Like the other men in the photo, he played an important role in the March to the Sea, helping deliver one of the final blows to the Confederate cause.

The “Dead Kennedys” logo in the back was a nice touch.

My personal favorite, it’s the background on my Harmony remote control.

Brilliant catch! Something about that symbol was gnawing at the back of my mind, but just didn’t realize it was part of the fake.

I find the list wildly unbalanced, and unfairly favoring the last few years. I mean, really, who cares that much about Martha Stewart?

Time is so stupid. They couldn’t realise that a photo-essay of doctored photos, would only be useful if they put the pictures side-by-side, instead of requiring a page re-load....

Honorable Mention goes to the plethora of doctored photos playing the meme "All Your Base Are Belong To Us".

And this isn't a faked photo, just a picture of a fake soldier and lousy mayor:

They want twice (or more) as many pageviews for twice as many ads. The news is just there to get you to read the ads. Why do you think so many paper newspaper/magazine stories are not on a continuous list of pages?
