Reuters admits altering of Beirut photo

By Rick Forman
First the AP allegedly used staged photos from Qana. Now Reuters has been forced to withdraw a doctored photo coming out of Beirut. Adnan Hajj, is dis-credited with the doctored photo and some of the earlier photos from Qana.

Of course the news organizations hide behind plausible deniability. Yet it woud be obvious to a freshman journalism student the photo was doctored. One could deduce that this is business as usual by the press to slant the coverage and influence public opinion.

Little Green Footballs has been all over this latest snapu.

Oh, wait, I get it. Because it is a snapshot.

Carry on.

LGF? Gee, there's an unbiased source.

You wouldn't expect LGF to be non-biased.
News orgs Reuters are expected to report not manufacture or push an agenda.

Reuters did not admit to altering the Beirut photo. Your headline is dead wrong. They admitted to publishing an altered photo from a freelancer.

Very large difference.

So, Nonny... just because it was LGF who broke it, it was incorrect? Well... may want to let Reuters that they didn't have to fire the guy and pull all of his photos. Guess LGF was right, huh?

Brittney,
Wasn't dead wrong. Had a typo. Now corrected.
