Sitting at his computer on a Saturday, and next thing ya know, Reuters is recognized as a fraud for its fauxtography. Good job Mike Thorson!

Reuters is a very well-known and respected wire service."

Not anymore...

[BallyBill]

Hats off to you, sir.

[proudpapa]

"I was shocked," Thorson said later. "This is supposed to be serious. Reuters is a very well-known and respected wire service."

{snicker}

[Suzy Quzy]

Can't agree with you, Mike...I WANT these FRAUDS to LOSE their JOBS!!

[nmh]

"Reuters is a very well-known and respected wire service."

Say what?

Reuters?

I suppose that is how it earned the fond nickname of ROTO ROOTER? Doesn't sound like a "respected" news source to me. Also they can't seem to use the word "terrorist". They just can't figure out what that is.

Reuters is a very well-known and respected wire service."

Ha!

I'm listening to Fox News interview one of the passengers on that London-DC flight which landed in Boston because of suspect materials, and the passenger said all the airline passengers have been self-deputized and are alert to their fellow passengers. The same thing is happening to the "news": the consumers of the "news" are now investigating the veracity of that "news." And it's a good thing, too.

What's his FReeper ID? People that smart must be FReepers!

[the invisib1e hand]

a new media success story of the first order.

this is what happens when liberty is allowed to flourish. This is what the founders had in mind.

[Calpernia]

Mike Thorson bump!

[Old Grumpy]

"Reuters is a very well-known and respected wire service."

Well-known maybe. Respected, NO.

[dennisw]

What a story! Little Green Footballs always acknowledged a tip from a reader lead to their Reuters investigation and smack down

Weird headline--thought they caught the Janesville man in the middle of doctoring the photo. Someone really needs to work on the headline writing.

[BigFinn]

The power of the individual and access to a MAC. :^)

[doug from upland]

I just spoke with Mike and sent him the thread. I hope he has time to come and say hi.

[The Brush]

"I certainly didn't mean for anybody to lose their job or anything like that.

Perhaps he is saying what will keep him safe now that his name and location have been revealed.
We are dealing with a vengeful enemy, giving this much information isn't in his best interest.

[elhombrelibre]

He's a bright guy but apparently confused about Reuter's and its seriousness. Reuter's, like much of the MSM, is anything but serious. It's agenda is to help America's enemies. This is a fact even if they don't realize it themselves. They're never skeptical of terrorists and take them at their word. They never believe our own government or our allies even when there is incontrovertible proof.

[bonfire]

Get that guy over here to FR!

[reagan_fanatic]

Who says one man can't make a difference?

Way to go, Mike!

To clone, you simply click on part of a picture, then paste an exact copy of that part somewhere else on the photo.

That is not how the clone tool in Photoshop works, there is no paste to it.

But I guess we can't expect reporters to be accurate with facts!
