    I bet you were the same in high school.

    I'm sorry to tell 'ya yo-yo, but reality exists even if you don't want to believe it.

    Awww, can't we blame America first for something? You guys are about to break out in tears because your buds got busted :D

    And if the first two weren't enough, now there's even more:

    "Dog gone it, all these fake but accurate photos keep getting in our way of blaming America first!"

    They should be sued.

    This action from RTeuters is highly conspirative propagandistic attempt and must be dealt with.
    There is an international rule of ethics in jounalism and they will have go back to school at least.

    The question are: who could sue them and for what?

    Reuters is clearly guilty of repetitively publishing lies for the benefit of Hezbollah and the detriment of both America and her allies.

    Is anti-semetism a crime? Not really.

    Reuters is guilty of libel against the Jewish people.

    Can "the Jewish people" sue Reuters for libel? Can the IDF sue Reuters for libel? Perhaps the state of Israel?

    In a New York court?

    Maybe the world will take a break from "Jew Bashing" and wake up to the reality that cheering on the terrorists makes them look really stupid?

    I believe that a simple majority of people in the civilized world understand that now. Take a look at how suppporting the opposite team did at the polls.

    Of the four leaders who prominently backed Western Civilization, George Bush, Tony Blair, and John Howard have been re-elected; only Jose Maria Aznar was not elected to another term.

    That's three to one in favor of Western civilization.

    Of the pro-Islamist leaders, Gerhard Schroeder and Paul Martin were both been voted out of office.

    That's two to zero against Islamofascism.

    I believe that the leftist nutcases appear to be more vocal, because they effectively own control of the media, public education, and entertainment. However, they are still in the minority and their minority is shinking.

    Can you imagine what kind of crap the media was getting away with 20, 30 and 40 years ago.

    Is that , that minority who thinks it was a mistake to invade Iraq?

    http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/12/iraq.poll/index.html

    How is Iraq going by the way, have the liberal media been interfering again.

    Do you have any proof that Reuters intentionally printed the fake pictures or have just reached raving crack pot say anything stage?

    Its disappointing will you used to have interesting stuff to say, now you just sound like a nut case.

    "OMG somebody sold some photoshopped pics to Rueters, its a giant Islamic Anit-semtic leftwing socialist conspracy"

    On Fox news they said that Reuters is admitting another photo was faked, the one of the Israeli F-16 firing missiles.

    AP news alert... "The Lebanese prime minister says only one person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40. "

    Ha, the death toll goes from 40 down to 1.

    Funny stuff going on in the media.

    This just keeps getting better.

    So, now they have been caught faking three photos and possibly four.

    AND they exaggerated casualties by a factor of fourty.

    Nice.

    This would get you kicked out of any Journalism program at any college or university in the country.

    Oh the horror! Look at the difference! There's more smoke and it's darker! My god I bet that picture brainwashed half the country into thinking Israel was way worse than they are!!!!

    And don't even get me started on the extra smoke trail from the missiles in the other photo! It's like they just took a picture of the sky and added Israel's entire fleet of jets into it!!!!!

    Oh the outrage!!! The biased liberal media will stop at nothing to brainwash us all :D

    Yes, because a darker picture with extra smoke makes a world of difference! I mean in the first photo it looks like Israel nuked the entire country, and in the second photo, it's bright and sunny out, just another peaceful day in Lebanon :cool: :rolleyes:

    So yo-yo comes out in favor of media fronted propoganda why does that surprise me? Fake, but (somehwat) accurate - seems to the catchphrase of the media these days.

    Is it just pro-hezbollah propoganda you like or all propoganda?

    I'm not in favor of any doctored or faked photos. I just find all of the neocon outrage hilarious. It was one freelance photographer and they fired him and pulled all his photos after discovering what had happened. Yet they continue to blame the mainstream media for trying to make Israel look bad or something.

    It's really quite amusing and I'm having fun with it :D
