Hmmm ... I know roto-rooter news is a tad baised but this is over the top. It's probably doctored.

Even a picture isn't worth a thousand words anymore, especially if its from the MSM.

It DOES look like it was abused by the clone tool.

Good catch, LGF!

No. I've used the Clone tool since before there was a Photoshop. That thing has been altered. I'd bet the farm.

No. I can guarntee this photo is a fake. I am a professional photographer and use Photoshop daily. These patterns happen when an inexperienced person is trying to 'clone' something.

I hope everyone's saving this pic to their hard drives before Rooter's changes it.

Looks like they had to clone a LOT of smoke. I'll bet there wasn't 10% of that smoke in the original photo.

You're right. I've used the clone tool also & this is blatantly enhanced.

Pathetic.

all im saying is if you dont have the actual photo then people sound just like any tinfoil conspiracy theorist. I also think it looks suspicous....but we need to have a side by side evidence

Yeah, Ditto-

Not only is it faked (using the clone tool)... It is faked by a complete amateur. I suppose the first few photos I 'enhanced' contained similar bad techniques, but I rapidly learned how to blend smoothly and not have noticable repeating patterns.

Hey Reuters... You want to hire me to do your fakes? I'm much better than the guy that did this.
