I hear there's a photographer's job opening at Reuters.


In case anybody didn't get the reference, Reuter's (which has a long
and dishonorable record of Israel-bashing) published photographs by a
local Islamic stringer they had employed for years Thanks to
sharp-eyed photo experts, the pictures were exposed (sorry!)
as phonies, doctored with photoshop, to make damage results look
much worse. Reuter's, under huge pressure, gve a wink and a nod to
"apologizing", but chez Reuter's, the beat goes on...

Here's the story you will not hear/see in most US media:

You're right. I'm surprised. I watch FOX and listen to Limbaugh and
thought everybody would catch my sarcastic Reuters comment on doctored
tree photo. I'm not sure how much credit for media manipulation we
should give the Hezbo's when we have a very accepting media ;(
