There; that's more accurate.

SNORT.
"Reuters has strict standards of accuracy that bar the manipulation of images in ways that mislead the viewer."
Uh huh. Now what about text manipulation that misleads the reader, i.e. the restriction against the use of the accurate term "terrorist" when referring to, well, terrorists?

Reuter standards are much like the 11th Commandment : DON'T GET CAUGHT.
In related news, Al-Jazeera announced it's newest staff photographer, Hajj.
They got caught with their fat little jihadi hand in the cookie jar.

I believe they have a high standard: you can doctor a picture, as long as nobody can tell it. An amateurish job like this, which make people realized that it was doctored, failed their standard, so they let him go.
Reuters is standing by the Qana photos by using the reaction to this photo as proof that they are honest.

Yep, just add this serious "breach" to the the mountain-high pile of breaches (also known as Mt. Sheet on Reuters PenInsultula).
They manipulate the read enough with their commentary.
A Clintonesque admission that they do doctor images. They just don't want to mislead you, they only do it to reinforce the idea that they are already trying to portray with the image.
Since they were trying to show through the image that the terrorists were victims, this image probably technically didn't violate their standards and it shouldn't have been withdrawn.
OMG, this is so rich - I just don't know where to begin!
Ah, yes, good old "fake but accurate..."
