Reuters Fakes Another Photo
Telegraph UK ^

Posted on 04/23/2008 12:59:57 PM PDT by YourAdHere

The story is about climate change, and when I saw the accompanying photo of a fish lying at the bottom of a dried lake, I immediately screamed fake. Take a look, there's no way the buzzards or other predators wouldn't have picked it clean in the time it took for the lake to evaporate.

Known to be a fake, or believed to be a fake?

Al Gore has pretty much all but admitted that he uses hyperbole to bring the GW issue to the forefront. Guess that was a green light for the supposedly truthseeking media to fake photos and videos because it advances a story.

Sure to be a fake. No way a single fish can be found isolated on a totally dried up lake.

The ground is dessicated, the fish is not. Fake.

Damn. Looks like the author just went to a photo bank and pulled up a stock photo. That's Billy Bass's take on it.

That just has to be a real picture guys come on.

It looks like a real dead fish, and something that is all dried up.

Maybe it is a close up of Obama’s behind.

I watched 20/20 with John Stossel the other day. They had a story about how Algore used computer generated footage from the movie, “The day after tommorow” in his movie. The film shows algore lecturing the audience and describing how tall and beautiful the ice was. It was completely fake. Too funny.

Global warming killed the buzzards so they couldn’t eat the fish. I agree it looks fake. When lakes dry out the fish congregate at the lower point. There wouldn’t be just one fish and nothing else. Wheres the other stuff thats in lakes?

the photo isn’t a photoshop though. They just threw the dried fish onto the lakebed for the picture.
