Photographer fired for being an ethical christian!

Boston Herald did not lie. How xian. How ethical.
The only xian who was being ethical was the photographer himself
who said he could not abide a lie being told. Kudos to him.

University.

Church fires photog over Scalia picture: Freelancer pays for 'right
thing'
By Jessica Heslam
Friday, March 31, 2006
A freelance photographer has been fired by the Archdiocese of
Boston's newspaper for releasing a picture of U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia making a controversial gesture in the
Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Sunday.
Peter Smith, who had freelanced for The Pilot newspaper for a
decade, lost the job yesterday after the Herald ran his photo on
its front page. Smith said he has no regrets about releasing it.
"I did the right thing. I did the ethical thing," said Smith,
51, an assistant photojournalism professor at Boston University.
Smith snapped the photo of Scalia flicking his hand under his
chin after a Herald reporter asked the conservative jurist his
response to people who question his impartiality on matters of
church and state.
Smith wouldn't give up the photo earlier this week but chose to
release it when he learned Scalia said his gesture had been
incorrectly characterized by the Herald. Smith, who was standing
in front of the judge, said the Herald "got the story right."
Smith said the Pilot had an obligation at that point "to bring
some clarity to it."
"I felt that same obligation," Smith said. "I had to say what I
knew and come forward with it.."
The weekly Catholic newspaper made a "journalistic decision" not
to run or release the photo, said Archdiocese spokesman Terry
Donilon. "Because he breached that trust with the editor, we
will no longer engage his services as a freelance photographer,"
Donilon said.
"It's nothing personal," added Pilot editor Antonio Enrique. "I
need to try and find people I can trust."
While news outlets from across the country sought Smith's photo
yesterday, the archdiocese said there's no proof that Scalia
uttered an obsenity in the church. Smith said Scalia said, "To
my critics, I say, 'Vaffanculo,' " while making the gesture.
That's Italian for (expletive) you.
"It was pretty clear," Smith said yesterday. A Herald reporter
who was nearby did not hear that utterance.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn Scalia had the man fired in exchange
for possible leinancy if a church case comes before the US Supreme
Kangaroo Court.
