That picture they’re carrying is discussed in a German newspaper. I don’t read German, but it’s obvious that they are discussing Green Helmet’s role as a propagandist for Hezbollah, comparing pictures of him doing his dead baby puppeteering in 1996 and again in 2006.

HELP!

I've read LGF, Malkin, etc. and of course, the FR tthreads...

But what is the BEST, most CONCISE, compilation that discusses both the F16, smoking Beirut, Green Helmet etc. all in one place without too much detail that would be good for emailing out to the great unwarshed!?!?

I get it, you get it, but what about your granny's friend that watches Nightly News? I haven't really found a single site that has an explanation tailored to them, and I don't think I'm capable either.

Any recommendations?

That's the problem with web-based stuff-- you have to follow all the links, search the comments for further fact-checking, links, etc., and pull it together yourself-- it's why people still watch the nightly news. Damn it.

Nonetheless, let me take a stab at it:

Here's where it started:


Over at LGF, Charles runs an explosive expose on al-Reuters doctoring photos from Beirut. The implications of such deceit are staggering. link: 816 comments |


Here's where it stand today:

The Larger Issue

Richard at EU Referendum has some very apt comments on the Reuters Photoshop Scandal, and the likelihood that photos of the aftermath of the Qana bombing were staged by Hizballah. I’ve tried to bring up this subject in every interview, because I agree with Richard that this practice is much more insidious than clumsy image editing.


A synopsis of better links:

Kudos to LGF for spotting the photoshopping. And to the Freepers who helped demonstrate the fakery. Ace o' Spades, Hot Air, and Left & Right get honorable mentions as well. JPod at the Corner also notes Charles' takedown of Reuters.

Ain't THAT it in a nutshell! ? ! I see so many people in my own family, from grandparents down to niece/nephew, that are just so consumed in their life that they miss all this other stuff completely.

People I know, who are not ignorant by any means, are not even aware that Iran Achmadinmybadinmyjob has verbally threatened Israel's right to exist, much less that Dan Rather was a forger/enabler, much less that all American Newspapers pull their propaganda directly from the Reuters/Goebbels newsfeed!

Even FOX NEWS has not managed to meet the challenge of beating the Nightly News with a "Blog Summary". THe best they have, for crying out loud, is a car-chase with mascara.

Oy. Vey.

You know, reading some of these other links (thanks!), I have to admit, the best, most concise summary of the lying, including references to the photog in question might just be----this Reuters Site!

I think I read where http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/ as of yesterday had received close to 2 million hits re this issue vs Reuter's receiving a couple of hundred.

>Several years ago "Wired" magazine did a story on the dangers of digital pictures being used for news reports. They pointed out that a good manipulation of the picture would be near to impossible to detect and that digital photos were totally unreliable at that point

The first one was a pretty good collection of everything that has been shared.

If it had that one of the upside car in two different locations and the ambulance with the blinkling light removed to expose a"Bomb" hole.....it would be even better.

But to be perfect, it should have included the German clip showing the green helmet guy directing a reshoot of a dead child being loaded onto a guerney.See it on Youtube.

Look at the flares -- they're all identical in size and shape.

Don't they often look the same?

Look at the vapor trails. The random puffs in the trails are identical in all three. Absolutely identical.
