There is no graver breach of Reuters standards...

What standards?

Five? I thought the number had been whittled down to ONE.

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.

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.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Reuters is entirely innocent of this affair. There is no bias in their reporting..

No, they just got caught because they're getting too blatant, just like the rest of the mass media.

But altering photos wasn't Hajj's only specialty.

Considering how badly he did it, I hope he finds another specialty.

Are staged pictures the same as rearranged ones.
AP's big time news:
Contractors in Iraq got killed in an ambush, their bodies dragged to a bridge and hung up there.
Picture generated by local freelancer.
NBC's:
Troops enter building in Iraq, see two seemingly lifeless bodies piled on top of each other.
The body on top reacts and moves his hand possibly to detonate munitions.
Troops fire, body collapses.
Freelancer takes pictures out of hidden position with perfect angle.
Think about: One dead body at bottom, one wounded body on top clearly arranged.
Freelancer then insists on media freedom rights.
Staging deadly scenarios... is it equal to fixing up truth afterwards, or more so when using staged dead and live bodies to make headlines of U.S. killer troops.

"It's particularly sad that Truth is killed again and again..."

"I am the way, the 'Truth', and the life..." Jesus Christ

Truth is crucified (sacrificed) because the world rejects Jesus Christ

Anti-Christ is Anti-Truth...

Islam is a false religion...

Mohammad is the false Prophet
