Default Re: Reuters Admits Altering Beirut Photo

It's not only Rueters, As usual AP is in on the disinformation campaign too. Here's and obviously staged AP photo

Also there was the obviously staged big wheel photos.

Oh and how about the infamous AP photo of the ambulance allegedly hit by an Israeli guided missle.

Is that the kind of damage the vehicle would have sustained in a guided missile attack?

Good shot? Or vandalism? You be the judge.

Like I've said many times before in this forum, you should apply the principles of skepticism and critical thinking when the news media tells you something.

Media news reports that use anonymous sources, take quotes out of context, make unsupportred claims, use prejudicial language etc. should be highly suspect.

The thing is, Reuters and AP are obviously biased and their stoiries are widely syndicated. Many of the articles they try to pass off as news are in fact propaganda and op-ed pieces in disguise.

Then countless other news sources just repeat it,then it gets mindlessly repeated here. Thus ruining their credibility.

But really this edited picture takes the cake. This is poorly done.

Anyone got a link to the story it was supposed to support?
