Is this messed up or what? Reuters altering photos from Beirut?

Reuters doctoring photos from Beirut:



The smoke is obviously photoshopped. but the buildings too? That's crazy. Talk about propoganda. I had always considered reuters a "news" agency, but this is beyond the pale.

the guy who took this photo is always around green helmet guy when he is in action. Now things start to make more sense.

 

I know that they do it in gaza (I saw a germany video with proofs).

It's not surprising me because i well know that they do, and they are doing dirty things, they never fought fair fight.

 

What sense what that be? You mean green helmet guy is simply placing dead bodies into photos of events that didnt actually happen

 

Another "al Reuters" shining moment.

 

I realize you are trying to deflect from the point; but at least read the page with green helmet guy.

 

Mr. Green Helmet guy is becoming quite famous, though I'm sure he'd rather not have people know:

Fake press pictures exist since the beginning of photography.
As well as biased journalism.

That's good to be aware of that and point it out as you did.

It's dangerous to generalize and start using it as "reverse-propaganda"

 

Just READ IT:

and then you'll understand!

 

So what exactly is the point here?

Makes no difference that civilians had been actually murdered, propaganda or not.

 

Pretend for a moment it was Israel. Then it will make sense.

 

aaahh I see but as I said murder is murder - try to be more concerned for "all" the people rather than trying to score brownie points over propaganda.

 

I'm not sure there is a complete investigation to know whether hezbollah intentionally murdered them for propaganda. There are questions surrounding the bombing as to why the building was struck, but didn't collapse for eight hours. But that alone, doesn't mean hezbollah intentionally blew up the building with civilians in it. They may very well have gathered bodies from various locations where hezbollah was firing from, put them in the building, then blew it up, then called the media in that morning. But until that eight hour time frame that is unaccounted for is answered, we won't know for sure.

 

How can it be murder when Israel has taken the time and effort to warn the "civilians" to get out of there?

 

I stand corrected.

 

So you do not see a problem with a major international news organization, who is supposed to biased, altering photos to favor one side or the other?

 

Update:

Reuters suspends photographer and doctored photo. Will Green helmet guy ever get press again?

He, then, promptly issues Zionist pig death threat. Has anyone seen the term zionist in anything, besides in a hateful statement?

 

So kana issue is probably true too, just like the blog u post and the article Gtech post.

SHAME.

 

Oh man, that is an awesome find for LGF. I'm jealous!

 

The photographer that altered this photo is the same reporter present at the staged photo op in Qana. The whole hezbollah media propaganda came falling down in one swoop.

 

Can that be sued? I mean this is really outrageous
