The sin is that most of the world will never know what we know about these fraud pics. Im sure the damage has already been done with staged bombing sites and dead babies etc.. Fr and Little Green Footballs and other TRYTH blogs are a very very small percent of the worlds people. Yes , we have to continue to fight for the truth but I get so tired knowing that thr Islamic scum gets away with this as well as the MSM.

Acutally, FOX NEWS did a good job of reporting on this traitorous scam today. I was impressed. Others are getting the word. I hope they really hype it --

I hope you are right .. Most people are real morons it seems. Here in the NY Metro area MOST people believe 9/11 was a staged situation. I go to Europe every summer. %99 of everyone there believes the most insane nonsense concerning 9/11 and the war on terror. The Islamic/Leftist / Liberal propaganda machine has brainwashed an entire world population . People take ANY headline and run with it , no questions asked. NY Times is GOD to most people .The Times says it , it HAS to be true. Where do we start ?

DU in meltdown

It`s a fake, no doubt. A typical carefully cut and paste. How you can tell is by the pixels on the outline. A cut and paste will always have some residual line around it that doesnt fit the pattern of the pic.

What the forgers (amatuer ones anyway) do is trace around the pic they want to paste, then flood the background color into one solid color. In this case it seems to be black. Then they copy and paste it as a transparent image. What they don`t realize is that when you flood a background around an image, some of that background color bleeds into the pic no matter how careful you are. It changes color hundreds of shades and you can never get rid of it unless you literally go pixel by pixel and determine what color out of 32 million is the right one.

Look.... Here is his right leg zoomed in...Notice the black line?

Here is his right arm...Look very close and you will see the black line...

Here it is with the contrast more evened out..See it now?

How many nasty emails did this generate to the critics of al Reuters?

[fanfan]

Israel intensified its strikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 33 people. Lebanonese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora won strong support from Arab states to plead his case at the United Nations for a full Israeli withdrawal.

This is such BS!

Oh, how I love reading the DU meltdown threads. Thanks for the link.

[digger48]

I shoulda known better than to click in your link. My IQ just went down 15 points And I ain't got that many to spare.

Hmm after some analysis, this is the REAL image :)

Why is it we never see photographers get dumped for doctoring photographs to support something besides a left-wing cause?

[realpatriot]

They got one from me. I received two replies.

Here is the less automated:

How many others?

If its Reuters its Wrong.

[P-Marlowe]

By withdrawing them are they not making them unavailable for people to investigate? Are these images stored anywhere where people can determine how much manipulation has been done in this war?

[maica]

Since you are so knowledgeable about photography/editing, what is your impression of the two photos of the damaged multistory buildings = one with tiny people on the road, and the other with the single woman in the road.
I cannot reconcile the huge difference in the size of the people, just by saying that the photographer stood in two different places. The buildings remain the same proportion in both shots.

On the other hand, could it not be a genuine secondary explosion, which means the Israelis hit exactly what they wanted to?
