First he says 40 people die then hes says 1 person died? This doesnt help Lebanon's creditiblity in their death counts.

and then you got the case of the Reuter photographer who edited the pictures of Beirut after a airstrike by Israel.

Story



Call me crazy but it seems someone is trying to push anit-Israel propaganda.

wow...that was a really shitty paint shopping job, too. How the hell did that get past the editors?

I don't think there's any agenda against Israel, just a photographer trying to sell a more spectacular photo. It's not like Reuters is known to pick sides in international conflicts.

As for how it got past the editors...like anything spectacular gets past the people that are supposed to be looking out for its validity. Kinda like the WMD stories cooked up by the Bush administration. That's the basic irony of all reporting: the more grandiose and insane the fraud, the more likely it is to be published cos if its 'newsworthiness'.

Btw, check this:

I don't like Galloway and I don't completely agree with him, but basically he trashes Sky News with the facts. Good fun.

You know, I been doing a lot of reading about this conflict. I even watched a video online which showed news from Al jazeera and Lebanon then news from Israel. It is very interesting to see how both sides report stories and how both sides view this war from their perspective.
