Aish.com has put together an interesting video exposing doctored photographs published by Reuters, the Associated Press, and more during the recent coverage of the Lebanon war.
This expose shows a real life wag the dog scenario. In one picture you see a guy pulling people out of the rubble(New York Times) and in another scene the same guy is dead himself getting pulled out of the rubble.
Watch a woman bemoan her bombed out house on multiple days in multiple locations.
This is definitely worth the review, and the Mark Twain quote at the end is priceless.
"If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed."

A picture tells a thousand words - Can you believe them?

I've been lurking about your blog for a while. You write well and seem to zero in on important issues. We are at an age of Photoshop; never will we be able to look at a picture and believe anything we see.I remember the controversy over the picture of Lee Harvey Oswald holding the rifle. Conspiracists said it was doctored. It wasn't, but today we could never be sure. Unless, of course, it is a male member photoshopped onto a dog. :>)
Good blog
