Wow! The Pajama team wins again.
Recall your Goebbels? I think these folks do.
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.

In this case, they're going for sympathy. Making Beirut look like it's been laid waste to is part of the plan.
The first two Drudge headlines are now an uppercut and roundhouse right to the jaw of Islamofascist-symp Reuters.
If I'm ever stunningly wealthy- I'll buy Reuters and mandate that the only image manipulation that will be done on the product, will be done with MS Paint.
It'd look like a kid drew a mushroom cloud with crayons.
Its also killing LGF's server. Almost inaccessible now.
ROFL! You are having WAAAY too much fun with this.
Goebbels would have loved to have had today's media back when he was running German propaganda.
They need to upgrade.
Why? Its not every day a natural force like the Drudge Report causes the entire internet to descend on your innocent servers.
Thank you Algore.
That GIF compares two different photos from two different photographers working for two different agencies on two different days.
It was originally composed by someone at LGF who was arguing that the doctored Reuters photo was built from a July 26 AP photo. It was posted to make that point in post #6 on this thread.
Personally, I don't think it proves what it's purported to prove. Photographers working in Beirut all know the same vantage points. In fact, they're all probably staying at the same hotel and taking their wide shots from its roof. The overlap looks compelling in a muddy, low-res version, but with the original files -- unless the photographers were standing at the same spot with the same ISO and focal length -- not so much. Parralax is a harsh mistress.
True but the daily amount of hits to their page is certain to keep climbing.

LGF caught Reuters on this one.
He's saving us from things we don't even know we're supposed to be afraid of.
Giant Eddy of Iron Maiden fame is destroying Beirut!
Hahaha that is To Dam Funny.
Someone should put a pic of King Kong and say King Kong is destroying Beruit.
Here is the fake:
The correction is in a yahoo slide show here: "accurate foto"
Although, best I can tell, yahoo is also still happily showing the fake here: 9:03am est
