In the most recent in a series of online controversies to take on the mainstream media, a series of Web sites discredited a Reuters photograph of the fighting in Lebanon, forcing the news agency to issue an apology and remove the image from their archives.
I'm not as much disappointed with the attempt at manipulation as I am the sheer brazenness, lack of skill, and contempt for his readers shown by the photog. Because for the love of God, you can tell this is 'Shopped on Lynx. Sorry, guys, you don't get an Encyclopedia Brown pat-on-the-back for catching this.

The fraud al-Reuters commits is deeper than one photograph. Zombietime has a good round-up (http://www.zombietime.com/reuters_photo_fraud/) of the fraud they are committing. I give the bloggers a pat-on-the-back for all the crap they are catching. If the blogosphere was around during Vietnam, the Tet Offensive might be remembered as the victory is was instead of Uncle Walty's Vietcong propaganda version. The MSM can't get away with lies anymore. "Fake, but accurate", good one Dan.
