The MSM reporters and photographers are dumber than a box of rocks.

As news spread across the world of Iran’s provocative missile tests, so did an image of four missiles heading skyward in unison. Unfortunately, it appeared to contain one too many missiles, a point that had not emerged before the photo appeared on the front pages of The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, The Chicago Tribune and several other newspapers as well as on BBC News, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, NYTimes.com and many other major news Web sites.

snicker...snort....chortle...
Not just ONE too many.
How does the press keep falling for this stuff?
HEE HEE HEE........ “fake but accurate” Photoshopping from the land of the Mullahs. Guess they haven’t learned any lessons from “green helmet guy” and all the nonsense Hizbullah pulled in Lebanon..... or maybe they did learn the lesson, which is that even the most flagrant lying propaganda can be swallowed by much of the western MSM.
The MSM reporters and photographers are dumber than a box of rocks.
Liberals will believe anything, except when a Republican talks.
Maybe they’ve hired Dan Rather as their Minister of Propaganda.
Yeah and no credit to LGF. Go figure.
Actually, the post does give credit to LGF for highlighting a previous incident.
Ah, Na Pali coast !
In all honestly it is my belief that this photo was purposely photo shopped (badly) to cast doubt in the effectiveness of the Iranian missile programs. Now the media and the pundits of Iran can scapegoat the issue with the spin “SOME OF THE PHOTO’S WHERE FAKE” thus casting doubt and keeping any meaningful action at bay because of this doubt.
The Overall objective of all these warnings, test, threats and propaganda have one purpose. The continuation of their nuclear weapons projects. Any talk of Iranian allies disembarking from their relationship with Iran or talk of ending or halting or agree to western demands in regards to their nuclear programs or even saber rattling are also distractions in order to continue their nuclear weapons programs.. They will get the bomb whether we like it or not.
There is only one and I repeat only one way to stop their nuclear weapons program. And that is to pry it out of their dead hands. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
BS. You ran with it without question. Not like any good news that the Bush Administration has coming out of Iraq.
You should put the byline of the website you STOLE it from. It should BE the headline. "LGF" or whover "Exposes Iranian missile hoaxed photo"
After all, if FR is going to get SLAMMED for a parody photo of John Kerry with Jane Fonda being taken OUT OF CONTEXT (and omitting the detail that it was posted to a thread with a LEGITIMATE photo of Kerry and Fonda together at a Vietnam war rally), then they OWE it to the news source that SCOOPED them.
n the four-missile version of the image released Wednesday by Sepah News, the media arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, two major sections (encircled in red) appear to closely replicate other sections (encircled in orange). (Illustration by The New York Times; photo via Agence France-Presse)

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
They're human. We tend not to examine anything that supports our prejudices very closely, if we bother to examine them at all.

They are not neutral. They are not anti-war. They are against THIS administration and cheering for the other side. Treason in a time of war by providing aid and comfort to sink morale.
Time was in WWII when we could say what it was.
Rofl!

Here we go again. You’ll all remember how the MSM brought us the first Fauxtography-fest in the summer of 2006. Well, the photo fakers and their dupes in the media are baaaack. And the blogosphere’s all over them.
LGF’s Charles Johnson and Brian Ledbetter have the rundown on the digitally enhanced Iranian missiles in an image distributed by Agence France-Press. See also: Kamangir, Blackfive, Pat Dollard, EU Referendum, Ace, Jim Hoft, Suitably Flip.
The AFP has retracted the photo. The NYT, fresh from its own photo-distorting embarrassment, reports:
Updated, 9:33 a.m., Agence France-Presse has retracted the image as “apparently digitally altered.”
As news spread across the world of Iran’s provocative missile tests, so did an image of four missiles heading skyward in unison. Unfortunately, it appeared to contain one too many missiles, a point that had not emerged before the photo appeared on the front pages of The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, The Chicago Tribune and several other newspapers as well as on BBC News, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, NYTimes.com and many other major news Web sites.
Amuse us. Tell us again about the MSM's careful fact-checking and commitment to accuracy.
Photo picked up by all the major MSM outlets.,...
ROFLMAO!!!
Well....the photo checking guys work in a different department..../ROFL!!!
MSM advertising revenues? In decline.
MSM stockholders selling shares? Record high levels.
MSM research capacity? Invisible.
MSM assuming photoshopped missle pics are genuine? Priceless.
Say it isn't so!
If you don’t follow the news of the day you are uninformed.
If you turn to Big Media for the news of the day you are MISinformed.
They are multiplying....!
The TV shot is also likely doctored. Go to the posted article—the untouched picture shows a missile truck in the foreground with a missile that seems to have failed to launch.
Screaming!
The Pajamas media, doing the MSM's job for them again. BTT
Oh, the calumny!
another image that The Associated Press received from the same source on Thursday, which appeared to be taken from the same vantage point at almost the same time.
********************************
Now we see...there were suppose to be four ...so they were just showing what should have happened......LOL!
ROFLMAO!!
eeegads - this calls for aspirin.

The AP had to have known it was a doctored photo but ran with it anyway.
Iranian Media Releases New Missile Image
