Boy that Sharif Karim from Reuters has a real nose for stuffed animals!

It is odd how clean they are.You would think that with the amount of dust and debris from an explosion the toys would be coated with dust.

You, sir, are made of win. Nice job!

"[P]hotographers from Reuters and the AP just happened upon many of these perfectly placed symbols of war's horrors."

"Boy that Sharif Karim from Reuters has a real nose for stuffed animals!"

And not a speck of dust on them.

From the Disney store in downtown Beirut to Hezbollah-held land in South Lebanon.

You could probably do a check of his credit card and show that he purchased them a few hours earlier.

More stage presence than Liza Minelli.

WHO would be stupid enough not to see that these are staged???

[Shermy]

I finally found one! A rare photo of bomb site that looks like it is being authentically searched. I suspect it's their house. The boy is carrying some unphotogenic object, red shirt is seems to be rescuing a possibly salvagable refrigerator condensator. Not staged imo.

Guaranteed un-retouched photo from Reuters.

[Chode]

is this the same guy what put the stones on the beach for SlickWillie to play with in front of the cameras???

any statistician will tell you the odds of finding THAT many perfect pictures is incalculable... ie fixed.

[gotribe]

Photogs with muzzie names.

Fauxtography!

[FreedomCalls]

Here's another staged photo:

(not hot-linkable -- Corbis photo)

Notice the rocks placed "just so" -- one large one under it, two in from of it -- so as to prop up the undusted, undamaged photo perfectly for the camera.

If you people keep up this atrocious debunking of our stories and photographs, you will force us to amend the copyright laws, to exclude any "fair use" or discussion, except by qualified journalists

finnman69 coined a new word...FAUXTOGRAPHY!! Pass it on!!

Only the blue one (some sort of Smurf?) might be face down. The rest conveniently are hamming it up for the camera.

Amazing how the tiger landed upright; and particularly amazing that it did so on a nice flat rock.

All of this talk about photo propaganda reminds me of the one Calvin and Hobbes script where Calvin, in order to show his mom that me has cleaned his room, shuffles all of the messy stuff from the bed to the southern part of it, and has Hobbes take a picture of only just the front, to show his mom that yes, his room(or at least his bed) is clean. I don't remember what he said at the end, that was witty, but for some reason it came into my head when I read this thread.

I think Green Helmet guy has a toy concession in Beirut.

[P.O.E.]

Unfortunately, there are untold millions in the US to whom this insult to intelligence is being successfully directed.

These so called photo-journalists are really pissing in the proverbial pot now.

Thank God for the FR and other sane forums for detection and dissemination of the massive BS-PR that's been growing unchecked in the MSM for years.

Image the change of perception if only those shots had AK-47's and RPG's launchers laying there instead...

Are there no decent, moral and patriotic photographers left in this world?
