this is total propaganda. fake photos in order to imply that the massacre didn't happen or was not as bad. by editing a couple photos in a way that is obvious and sure to be noticed you can plant the seed in peoples mind that all the photos are doctored.

And a major media corporation fell for it, what idiots, they should close shop!

hahaha yeah the total amateur editing job was enough to fire him

yes of course journalism is an individuals report
some twist facts others do not its a case of trying to filter out the bullshit
and the editing of the photos is disgraceful, a blatant attempt to make things seem worse than they are
this is much worse than a journo giving a biased view on something, because thats what the journo believes,its their view
but to edit a picture, which is a snapshot of fact is well out of order

As for the pictures, the BIG question is can we really trust ANY journalism? From what I have watched over the time, all journalism is biased. It's just a matter of choosing which truth you want to read/watch. I do not believe journalism is really independent, starting from the fact that every journalist has his/her own views over whichever issue they're reporting, and us readers see things through their eyes
Yankees? Reuters is British. Sometimes people are morons and like to blame the US for the ridiculous actions of a individuals such as that disgraced and untalented photographer.

That is one of the worst Photoshop edits Ive seen, and I work with Ps everyday.
He used whats called a "clone stamp".
Basicly it takes a "photo" of a designated area in the picture and clones it.
Look on the smoke stack to the left, see the pattern in the middle ?
Its just that "photo cloned and layered over the picture.
Really shabby work.
Really fucked up thing to do!!
