People find the Virgin Marry pattern on their toast.
A potato chip looks like Abraham Lincoln.
It could be doctored.
The photographer who sold it to them, could have done it.
No reason to assume the editor was in on it.
What strikes me as the principal issue is how totally irrelevant the
picture is.
Totally meaningless picture.
Israel attacking Lebanon, is only the 'normal' of what Western media is
today.
Normal is = all spin, all one sided, all hero has a white hat, villian
has a black hat, good guys are incapable of malice, bad guys are
incapable of virtue.
So, in Lebanon, we pretty much have 2 groups
Group 1) already UNCONDITIONALLY rubber-stamp ALL violence by Israel.
There is NO POSSIBLE VIOLENCE Israel can do that these people will
become angry. Pro-Israeli news will make up ANY lie no matter how
ridiculous, and these people will all agree that the 100 Arab toddlers
were killed trying to 'erase Israel from the map' or something other
'slogan' horseshit they are famous far. none of these people COULD CARE
LESS about a smoking photo of that city. AT ALL. Israel could gas
chamber the entire civilian population and NOT ONE of these people
would so much as yawn in protest.
Group 2) (people who actually KNOW someone in the Middle East, ARE
Middle Eastern, or get their news FROM THE INTERNET and not the public
mass media, this group already knows Lebanon has already been
holocausted without the SLIGHTEST shred of pity. None of these people
think a smoking sky in any way reflects the actual damage in Lebanon.
The ground level damage is horrible.
There is no reason to fake the photo, because it is a stupid photo that
shows nothing.
We have THOUSANDS, of close-up photos of babies blown apart, apartment
buildings aflame and have destroyed, ect, ect.
If I had to guess, the group 1 people, (Israel is God group) are
DESPERATELY HOPING that a retouched photo can be exploited in
propaganda to try and bury the horror disgrace of all the Israeli war
crimes. If the smoke is retouched, then the photos of a hundred dead
babies can be called fictional.
Typical of Israeli supporters. By way of deception (lying your ass off)
drew
go to the freepers site and that is exactly what is happening. over a
100 posts about photoshoping the photo and the conspiracy to make false
photos by the MSM or drive by media or the lamestream media etc etc etc.
Really is funny reading. It does look like the photo is faked but like
you said, irrelevant.

Reuters admits altering Beirut photo
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3286966,00.html
Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US
blogs, photographers point out 'blatant evidence of manipulation'
Yaakov Lappin
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.
In the message, Reuters said that "photo editing software was
improperly used on this image. A corrected version will immediately
follow this advisory. We are sorry for any inconvience."
Reuters' head of PR Moira Whittle said in response: "Reuters has
suspended a photographer until investigations are completed into
changes made to a photograph showing smoke billowing from buildings
following an air strike on Beirut. Reuters takes such matters
extremely seriously as it is strictly against company editorial policy
to alter pictures."
"As soon as the allegation came to light, the photograph, filed on
Saturday 5 August, was removed from the file and a replacement,
showing the same scene, was sent. The explanation for the removal was
the improper use of photo-editing software," she added.
Earlier, Charles Johnson, of the Little Green Footballs blog , which
has exposed a previous attempt at fraud by a major American news
corporation, wrote : "This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence
of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is
almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop ?clone? tool to add
more smoke to the image."
A series of close ups are then posted on the blog, showing that "it?s
not only the plumes of smoke that were 'enhanced.' There are also
cloned buildings." The close ups do appear to show exact replicas of
buildings appearing next to one another in the photograph.
The Sports Shooter web forum , used by professional photographers,
also examined the photo, with many users concluding that the image has
been doctored
'Looks so obviously doctored'
"I'll second the cloned smoke...but it looks so obvious that I don't
know how the photographer could have gotten away with it," wrote one
user.
After further research, Johnson posted a photograph he says is the
original image taken before distortions were made, showing much
lighter smoke rising.
Other blogs have also analyzed the photographs, and reached similar
conclusions, such as Left & Right , which states: "The photo has been
doctored, quite badly."
The author of the Ace of Spades blog wrote: "Even I can see the very
suspicious "clonings" of picture elements here. And I'm an idiot."
The Hot Air blog also looked at the photo, describing the image as
"the worst Photoshop I have ever seen."

Remember when the Republicans carried photos and video of mobs of
Iraqis pulling down the statue of Saddam? It took a few weeks before
actual undoctored photographs came out showing American soldiers
actually did it while others held rifles on what few Iraqi citizens
were there. Context is everything.

As I pointed out in a previous post,
the Beirut photo was an obvious fake,
intended to be discovered,
just as the Bush National Guard letter was an obvious fake,
intended to be discovered.
As can be seen, the fake Bush National Guard letter
was used to obscure Bush's actual National Guard record,
and the fake Beirut photo was used to obscure the fact
that Israel is murdering innocent women and children,
and destroying precious, costly, essential infrastructure,
that took decades to build.
These gambits are used to fool stupid people,
as rational, intelligent, people do not fall for these tricks.

Great post.
It proves what we've been saying about you lefties all along. You
can't think, you aren't honest (even with yourselves) and morality is
completely relative in your minds.
You can't handle straight news because it doesn't contain the leftist
slant and self-serving conspiracy theories you require in order to
continue in your belief system.
So CBS news publishing fake documents, CNN covering up Hussein's
atrocities, NY Times plaigerizing and Reuters faking photos is, at
worst irrelevant.
And all the left blogs simply asserting that Cheney and Bush are
crooks and fascists and commit crimes and atrocities every day, and
the economy is tanking and the US soldiers are raping and pillaging
and all your rights have been trampled and you live in a police state
that kills babies, old people and trhe spotted owls is good enough for
you.
But Fox is Faux news. LOL!!!!

denial or confirmation from them sometime.
I'm glad they fired him.

Well hell, it must not be true then. Of course it's only the first
day.

You're obviously wearing your Hezbollah approved tin foil hat. Meanwhile
Reuters has confirmed the story you were trying so hard to deny.

They spin, they spin, they spin. If they found Nasrallah with blood on his
hands and his tooth marks on a body they'd claim he was trying to administer
CPR.

And I'm sure Reuters did its damndest in making sure the photo was not
a fake maligning Israel.
Tolerating Intolerance
Not really... you show me a doctored photo and I'll show you articles
whose facts have been doctored as well.

I just took another look at this, at a smaller size, and the patterns
were even more evident. I use Photoshop all the time (I'm a designer)
and that's the clone tool. Either that or the guy slected, feathered,
copied, and pasted, several times. That would be much more tedious but
given how dumb the photog is, it wouldn't be a surprise if he did it
the hard way. Anyway it's interesting how dishonest people make the
mistake of thinking others are as stupid as they are. Reuters should
pull all of his photos until an investigation is complete, which I
assume they are going to do.

BIG difference. The media is suppose to give us facts and truths.

Of course they do, but mistakes still happen. Newspapers make mistakes
somewhat often but it doesn't mean they are all involved in a
conspiracy to take away your Hummer or to allow Hezbollah to nuke your
little girl. Get a fucking clue before you post again. Oh, and stop
watching FOX News; they lie to you.

I agree. All his pictures are fake.
Israel didn't bomb Beirut nor killed any civilians.
