It's the story that the journalistic elite would rather just go away. In the aftermath of Reuters' admission that one of its photographers, Adnan Hajj, had manipulated two war images from Lebanon after bloggers smoked out his crude Photoshop alterations, and all 920 of his Reuters photos were pulled, evidence of far more troubling photo staging and media deception in the Middle East continues to pour in.

Washington Post photographer Michael Robinson-Chavez, who was at Qana, huffed: "Everyone was dead, many of them children. Nothing was set up." And the we get the truth from German media.
Jefferson Morely of the Washington Compost sneered about the internet sources questioning the Qana photos.
BOTTOM LINE: The Washington Post doesn't know it's ass from first base.
People buy the paper to read the news. Once they understand that the a paper does not report the news, there is no reason to buy it. The Washington Post is diging it's own grave.

The Reuters caption reads:
"Lebanese civil defence personnel carry a body in the town of Ghandouriyeh in south Lebanon August 15, 2006. REUTERS/Ammar Awad"
Reader William Ketchem's caption reads: "Awful skinny body and no feet!" Whatever the case, it seems that the Reuters caption is not entirely self-explanatory.

Joe Elbert, Washington Post assistant managing editor for photography, told ombudsman Deborah Howell smugly: "We don't use tools to change reality." Newsflash: You are the tools being used.
Bingo!

Mathew Brady posed corpses at Gettysburg for dramatic effect. The famous Vietnamese girl fleeing a "napalm attack" was actually injured in a cooking accident. The Iwo Jima photograph was a "do over". I figure well over half the MSM media photos from any disaster or war are posed or staged.

"after evidence emerged that it had been manipulated to show more smoke."He added more smoke? That's it? Get a grip, people. Now, if he photoshopped in smoke where there was none ... well, THAT'S a story.
(Actually, it looks as though he zoomed in on the darker one.)

Hey, I have a clue for you. Don't believe anything anyone with the last name of "Hajj" tells you about the middle east, jews, terrorists, islam or military issues.
This dude has been to Mecca.

Just another isolated incident....
But enough "isolated incidents" make for a certain degree of malicious aforethought.
