Here's the image:

Was it the same photographer?

You just can't make this stuff up.

Oh wait...you can :)

[Moose4]

I don't get it.

[b4its2late]

I'll be there's more doctored than actual in their entire photo file base.

[lormand]

The photos were fake but accurate.

Details? What is doctored in it?

[Obadiah]

LOL!!

[DCPatriot]

Seems the two entrails (left and center)are exact dupes.

[pissant]

LOL. Now lets let the avalanche begin and flay the MSM

Time's phony Haditha report.

Reuters phony photos.

All of the MSM: The Qana staged photos.

The AP's: Iraq is in a Civil War

The list is endless.

Many questions still surrounding this photo on LGF though:



Fake or not? Reuters refuses to comment.

LGF

[VeniVidiVici]

Was it the same photographer?

I believe so, yes. Another thread yesterday where we were talking about this.

[KarlInOhio]

Details? What is doctored in it?

The trails from all three flares are exactly the same. Impossible to have in reality - pretty easy to do in Photoshop. It's easier to see in a larger picture.

Also the original caption claimed they were missiles instead of flares.

"Doctoring", "Editing", "Creative Review", it's all just semantics. The truth is whatever Rueters and Dan Rather and Mary Mapes tell us it is...

Details? What is doctored in it?

The aircraft is possibly real.

It's analyzed here:

According to Fox, Reuters admits flares were added.

[pointsal]

Gosh, I shocked!

Could'a fooled me.

[Sax]

So while we're at it, what about this Nassar Nassar, the AP guy, embedded with Hezbollah, who's always working with the carcass-from-the-rubble-patrol.

Doctoring's not where it's at - too easy to get caught. The real money is in staging it.

[pointsal]

The Dinosphere seems to have a problem...

[nikos1121]

I think this was originally uncovered by a fellow FR.

I wonder how many others were doctored...

The AP I'm sure is doing the same thing.

[jiggyboy]

Same guy, more to come. There are at least two more in the pipeline.

[nikos1121]

Foxs News says it was a Lebanese photographer

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

"Seems the two entrails "
That's an offal choice of words! :)

[TankerKC]

Also the original caption claimed they were missiles instead of flares.

Malice or ignorance? Could be either, or both.

[nikos1121]

Shows three flares...which I think are coming off the plane and I think it shows three missiles instead of one..

[Republican Red]

Update 845pm Eastern: Rusty at Jawa Report nails the fakery of the above photo, which was captioned "An Israeli F-16 warplane fires missiles during an air strike on Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, August 2, 2006."

Rusty points out: "The F-16 in the photo is not firing missiles, but is rather dropping chaffe or flares designed to be a decoy for surface to air missiles. However, a close up [of] what Hajj calls "missiles" reveals that only one flare has been dropped. The other two "flares" are simply copies of the original." Check out his replication (see post for enlarged image):

Reuters admits some photos aren't doctored!!!

Sorry! forgot to credit Michell Malkin for post #30

[Montana4Jesus]

Isn't Reuters owned by the Saudis?

[faq]

The Jawa Report was reporting on those photos

[eeevil conservative]

It was Hajj

the same guy photshopped the smoke- and had a bunch of pictures of the dusty disable baby with a bright blue (not a speck of dust) pacifier attached to him in Qana....

My money says that Hajj- the little "stringer" is also on the Hezbo payroll......

Would LOVE someone to dig that up....

oh- who cares- lets just write a story claiming it...

it is their job to prove it false...right?

[wagglebee]

I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to this yesterday (the media faking/making up "news" doesn't really surprise me much anymore), but who was the FReeper who figured it out first?

[Grampa Dave]

Great! Now these staged events/photo ops need to be outed. Lying Reuters said these photos of the dead babies were not photo shopped. Rooters is correct. They weren't photo shopped. These photos came from a staged event with Mr Green Helmet, his clean hands, clean vest and clean uniform.

Reuters, your days of bsing the world are over like Danny Blather's days of bsing the world.

[expatpat]

Yup, Hajj.

[econjack]

Wow...you're right! Good eyes!

[observer5]

BUT FOX DOESN'T MENTION THAT Hajj ALSO PROVIDED THE QANA PHOTOS, AND THEY ARE ALSO DIPUTED.

[tobyhill]

I've written two large newspaper's chief editors and have advised them of the Reuter fakes and my disappointment in their uses of such a fraudulent organization. Still waiting on a response but I won't hold my breath.

[Mamzelle]

Trouble is, more will remember the picture than will pay attn to this fraud.

[joylyn]

Note that this deals yet another blow to the basic premise of all photojournalism and TV news. Supposedly, words could lie but photos were "documentary."

[Grampa Dave]

"Doctoring's not where it's at - too easy to get caught. The real money is in staging it."

Bingo! See my reply #38 on this thread.

[null and void]

Was it the same photographer?

Yes, Hajj...

[BibChr]

The aircraft is possibly real.

As may be certain parts of the air.

[Hatteras]

"Seems the two entrails (left and center)are exact dupes."

entrails?

[mass55th]

Entrails and Offal? Hag-gis ("I guess" for those of you in Rio Linda), we don't have the stomach for that.

[Michael81Dus]

LOL!
