And the WinneR Is…
Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out ‘blatant evidence of manipulation.’ Reuters’ head of PR says in response, ‘Reuters has suspended photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to photograph.’ Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Q-ana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged ..
Reuters admits altering Beirut photo continues
A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web logs. The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage.
The photograph showed two very heavy plumes of black smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut after an Air Force attack on the Lebanese capital. Reuters has since withdrawn the photograph from its website, along a message admitting that the image was distorted, and an apology to editors.”
Hezbollywood Academy Awards Time:
In the category of best propoganda inducing photographer, we have:
Ad-nan H-ajj! 
Wonder what award they should bequeath to ole Mel Gibson this year, or Dan Rather for that matter.
And the beat goes on.
Moha–mmad al-D-ura, the Gaza Beach Scandal, the Jenin Massacre Lie and now this.
Wonder who gave ole Ha-jj Photoshop lessons though, especially how to use the “clone” tool. heh.
Well, let’s wait for Reuter’s “official statement” eh.
Bet it will be something along these lines.
The ahem..”cough cough” objective, unbiased reporter/photographer who managed to poorly doctor the Beruit smokestack photo will be suspended , that is ……. until he can learn how to better manipulate photo editing software.
The MSM pictures are distorted and fake.
We all know that now.
There is one thing that is real, however.
The deaths and destruction of the innocent Israelis whom these mass murderer terrorists waged war against.
Huge props and a curtsey to CJ for blasting open the story:

The Latest MSM Doctored Photo…
All in all, just another day with the biased MSM trying to make news rather then cover the news. Pathetic and sad.

What Mass Media Podpeople learned from Rathergate:
You can too lie and get away with it. No one really pays attention to the truth.

Yes Flopping Aces hit that on the head, I think in extreme cases where there wasn’t any news one day I think that the MSM would pay some murderers to go and murder people just so that they could have some news to print and to video.
Think about it, if the MSM can’t even be touched by the Government for leaking Classified Information what kind of hold does the MSM have on everyone.

357 Magnum found an interesting puff of smoke in the photoshopped version of the photo.

The good news: Hezbollah is down to the bottom of the barrel in the “Photoshop Brigade”.

The sad part is that people believe the initial report and disbelieve the refutation. Even Reuters statement will be benign enough not to shake those who wish to believe the worst about Iarael.
Thanks, Angel, for keep the light of truth burning.

Reuters Busted by US Blogs on Picture Fraud…
Just how many lies are out there that sparked international demonstrations over Qana?Now The Jawa Report exposes another fake photo from Reuters….
August 7th, 2006 at 6:11 pm
This may be one of the WORST photoshops I have EVER seen! I’m not at all surprised that Reuters would lie to me, but to do it so badly… How insulting!
Now, where’s the ‘investigation’ into this one, ‘eh?
August 8th, 2006 at 4:44 am
The thing is, I believe it’s more than just this one photographer that is the problem; it’s the whole media culture that has the coverage slanted against Israel.
