Well, this is certainly in line with what several other threads/posts have suggested about the media war in the middle east. It is unfortunate to know that we can't even rely on the news to bring us the actual stories occuring. The icing on the cake is that this is THE SAME PHOTOGRAPHER that sent in the images from Qana.
Quote:
Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out 'blatant evidence of manipulation.' Reuters' head of PR says in response, 'Reuters has suspended photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to photograph.' The photographer who sent altered images is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged
The photograph showed two very heavy plumes of black smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut after an Air Force attack on the Lebanese capital. Reuters has since withdrawn the photograph from its website, along a message admitting that the image was distorted, and an apology to editors.
In the message, Reuters said that "photo editing software was improperly used on this image. A corrected version will immediately follow this advisory. We are sorry for any inconvience."
