Essentially, it admitted it unwittingly published propaganda as straight news.Maybe, they could just use italics or bold when this ISN'T the case.

...it admitted it unwittingly published propaganda as straight news. Well, so the story goes. Not a little of the stuff they've published wittingly falls under that category as well. I will say that once caught they didn't attempt to bluster it out as did Dan Rather and CBS news under similar circumstances.

"There is no graver breach of Reuters standards..."
"What standards?"
Why getting caught, of course.

Unwittingly-------Unwittingly ??? I hardly thinks so. They knew what they were doing and they got caught.
Does anyone really believe they admitted this of their own volition, just out of the blue.??
They got caught or they would still be doing it and may stil be doing it anyway.
I think dan rather called it fake but acureat. Reuters doesnt have that excuse , Its just plain fake.

Reuters has pulled the photos but they continue to influence. There is a CNN news graphic montage they use for the "crisis in the middle east" and for a fleeting moment, one of Hajj's stills is used (the one with the unusually bright fireball).
They can pull the photos and issue apologies, but the damage is already done. Only a matter of time before they surface on Hezbollah recruiting posters.

Drudge told LGF that photo could hurt peoples perception on this story.
I think it only clarifies the deception when you tell people that only Godzilla was added.

Reuters is entirely innocent of this affair. There is no bias in their reporting..

It is funny how you never see papers coming forward and saying they caught this unethical behavior. They ONLY do it after being caught. Not exactly the intent of the 1st Amendment.

"Essentially, it admitted it unwittingly published propaganda as straight news."No, they just got caught because they're getting too blatant, just like the rest of the mass media.
