Why this is in the entertainment section of the website I can't fathom. Not sure if it made it into the paper itself or not.
But at least ONE person at the LA Times is honest. That in itself is a huge suprise.

The LA Times went through the same thing a few years ago, when they ran a photograph that turned out to be a composite of two separate photographs. Looks like they've learned something.

As long as we keep exposing the Liberal MSM, the more readship and viewership stops sucking up their propaganda. Hopefully, they will all be in the unemployment lines where all good Liberals should be.
To: Celtjew Libertarian
At least the guy writing in the entertainment pages has. The editorial board is a pack of committed leftists.

I could not believe my eyes reading this as this writer's closing statement:
"That brings us to the most troubling of the possible explanations for these fraudulent photos, which is that some of the photojournalists involved are either intimidated by or sympathetic to the Hezbollah terrorists. It's a possibility fraught with harsh implications, but it needs to be examined thoroughly and openly.
Johnson and his colleagues have done the serious news media a service. Failure to follow up on it would be worse than churlish; it would be irresponsible. "
So maybe they are realizing, just a bit, that their credibility at the LA Times is in need of severe repairs.

Er, umm, no. The writer STILL got it wrong.
He only mentioned one (out of about 6-9) case of the MSM (not just Reuters!) accepting and publishing FAKE photographs to (deliberately) spread anti-Israeli propaganda.
It's is a SINGLE STORY, even that story is not right - by limiting the impact and distorting the amount the problem!

His last paragraphs tell me that at least this writer gets it, to some degree.

Interesting that the author of this piece, Tim Rutten, seems to have a reputation as an unapologetic left-wing shill...

Apparently smart enough to recognize that he doesn't want the LA Times to get taken down, because heads are going to roll be the time the phony pics and stories are fully exposed.

Yep... I have to give him credit where credit is due... Most other far-lefties in the media (for example, Derrick Z. Jackson, Robert Kuttner, David Corn, ad nauseum) are so totalitarian in their outlook that they will dig in their heels and stick to the party line no matter how strong and incontrovertable a truth is staring them in the face.

This writer for the LA Slimes should apply the same standards he seems to be for re photography to the faux news stories and editorials that appear daily in the LA Slimes to demean our Nation, Warriors, Israel and our President.

That is asking WAY too much. And this little admission will not save the Slimes from bankruptcy.
