Reuters caught faking photos 



Lyin' bastards.

This fake is positively egregious. How stupid do they think we are? How stupid are their photo editors?

UPDATE: News to nobody, but even Reuters managers know that "terrible quality problems" are nothing new at Reuters.


UPDATE: Reuters capitulates.

UPDATE: National Journal recaps the long and sordid history of MSM outlets doctoring war-on-terror-related images - ALWAYS to the detriment of the West. Always.

And EU Journal, who was over this shutterbug's ass like flies on turds since Qana broke, punks the media apologists with their own words:


"In addition to personally speaking with photo editors", she says – who tell the absolute, unvarnished truth - "I also know from 30 years of experience in this business that you can't get competitive journalists to participate in the kind of (staging) experience that is being described." Photographers are experienced in recognizing when someone is trying to stage something for their benefit, she adds.


Wow. Maybe they ought to hire some of them to replace their photo editors.

Jason --

I posted a comment on this topic over at PressThink but Jay deleted it without warning. Thought you would be interested.

I have an idea, WW. Why don't you take it up with Capt. B?

I've never written about that story and am wholly uninvolved in it.
 
Remind me, WW, how you know he hasn't?

Jason's a blogger. That means he... wait for it... blogs about stuff he finds interesting. Like this.

You, on the other hand, are commenting on Jason's blog. Specifically, on a post he made - or at least, that's the idea of it. Instead, you post random crap that is at best very tangentially related to Countercolumn. You might as well comment about an Irish folk fiddler caught stealing booze in Philadelphia.
