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

Limbaugh was making the point today on his radio that staged photos were as big a concern as the doctored variety.

[sandbar]

All but the bottom one seem awwwffuuullll clean given they are in a pile of rubble.

PLEASE let's start a campaign when these scumbags start with the staged phony photos. Does LGF have these pictures?

[Catholic Canadian]

Pure unadulterated demagoguery.

[6SJ7]

Always knew Reuters was a Mickey Mouse operation.

[Steve_Seattle]

Notice how in each picture, the only items that show no signs of having been in the blast are the toys, which are in pristine condition and were obviously planted. And the holier-than-thou, smarter-than-you MSM falls for this crap! Over and over!

[CholeraJoe]

Isn't it odd that none of the stuffed toys are burned, soot-stained or even dusty?

[Tijeras_Slim]

He plays with these...

[Mo1]

Is this a spoof??

[goalinestan]

I think that's a real tiger...

[LikeLight]

This stuff is so Mickey Mouse!

[MANO]

Is it me or are the stuffed animals a lot cleaner then everything around them

[Sloth]

Wow, not a speck of dust on that Minnie Mouse doll.

I was a reporter myself, and this is one horror story from my front lines: I knew of a photographer who carried a child's shoe with him so he could strategically place it in a photo of a car accident to give it extra pathos. That was on a small weekly paper in the Northwest; doctoring photos in the Middle East doesn't surprise me one bit.

At least Micky and Minnie look like they were dropped into the frame. The Tiger looks like some kid was playing with 30 seconds before the pic was taken.

[Robert A Cook PE]

You saw the quick vacuum cleaning too, eh?

[End Times Sentinel]

What gay toys. I'd feel a whole lot worse if there were cool toys, like one of those Power Rangers Jeeps that shoot the real rockets and have the lights that go on and stuff. Those kids look like real dorks.

Doubt it is his apartment, and he certainly he wouldn't save a teletubbie without prompting!

[NeonKnight]

This is wrong on so many different levels. For starters, is it fair that we do not know what sort of toys the Israeli children are playing with these days?

[Yo-Yo]

This last one is the only one that seems...untouched.

Nah, even it is obviously staged. Look at everything else in that photo. The debris, the dresser or cabinet, all of it is covered in such a thick layer of gray dust that everything is the same uniform dark gray, no other colors at all.

Except for the stuffed animan and the couple of preschool reading books. Why are they not also covered in the same layer of dirty gray grime? Yeah, right.

[Wiseghy]

Ummm...is it just me, or does it now appear that nearly every photo that comes out of that side of the border is now suspect?

Staging is easy and the financial incentives for doing so are certainly there. It appears that there are NO editorial controls, common sense or even a shred of commitment to truth in this photo "journalism". Anyone who employs stringers should have applied far more supervision, especially in a political war.
