'Times' War Photos Artfully Staged, Directed

Reuters, you are not alone. The news agency fired a photographer this weekend after it became clear that he had doctored war photos from Lebanon, but it would seem that Reuters isn't the only respectable news organization with this problem. While not quite so stupid as to get sloppy with Photoshop, Tyler Hicks of the venerable New York Times has some questionable work of his own. In this photo, a man appears to be pulling a remarkably un-dusty, possibly dead man from wreckage in Tyre -- note the victim's shorts and his hat, which is conveniently tucked to his side. But in the later photos (after the jump), un-dusty possibly dead man seems to be doing just fine.

...nice complexion for a dead dude.

Yeah, the way he slipped under all the wires and debris is a dead giveaway that he didn't merely "fall".... and has been noted, he is blatantly "playing dead" not trying to get up.

btw, Michelle Malkin has a great overview of all the "Reuterization" of news, i.e., Hezbollah propaganda served up by the LSM:

The disturbing make believe photos from this disturbing make believe event are shown below. Don’t allow children under the age of 30 to view this horror caused by Israel. Of course, this is Bush's fault.

No Problem! Here comes your Bomb!

Excellent post! Uncle fester et el.

Keep up the good work.

I gather the creative work of our freepers and try to arrange them in a flow that is humorous and shows how the MSM and their Islamofascists lie to the world.

Thanks for the kind words.
