Consider yourself reutered

Currently Reading
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

For those of my friends who don't follow the blogs, this story is literally exploding today and yesterday: Reuters admits to doctored photos. See Drudge Report for headlines. A Lebanese "stringer" for Reuters by the name of Adnan Hajj has been complicit in outright propaganda, doctoring photographs of the Hezbullah-Israeli conflict to dramatize Israel's role and inflame Muslim passions.

Note the use of Photoshop's "clone" tool to create extra smoke, as well as Rusty Shackelford's revealing the cut-and-paste of numerous buildings.

Follow this story here, here, and here. Like RatherGate, the bloggers are out in full force, exposing ReuterGate.

Don't be reutered, folks!
