Reuters admits faking a second photo...
Hey, if you an expert in photoshop, you can get a job at Reuters.
Reuters has withdrawn a second photograph and admitted that the image was doctored, following the emergence of new suspicions against images provided by the news organization. On Sunday, Reuters admitted that one of its photographers, Adnan Hajj, used software to distort an image of smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut in order to create the effect of more smoke and damage.
The latest image to face doubts is a photograph of an Israeli F-16 fighter jet over the skies of Lebanon, seen in the image firing off "missiles during an air strike on Nabatiyeh," according to the image's accompanying text provided by Reuters.
Reuters has recalled all photos by Adnan Hajj
The owner of the My Pet Jawa web log noted that the warplane in the picture is actually firing defensive flares aimed at dealing with anti-aircraft missiles.
In addition, the Jawa blog says the flares have been replicated by Reuters, giving the impression that the jet was firing many "missiles," thereby distortion the image

Gee. Adnan Hajj. Hajj. Hmmm..what a surprise.
The infotainment drama networks have to pimp their material in order to try and save their lousy ratings. And they seem to have a soft spot for fascist killers.
And the cries of outrage and condemnation by the MSM against Reuters are ... um ... wellllll ... nonexistant.
"wow, what a surprise".
Mr. Hajj (the guilty photographer - and he IS guilty) is a freelance photographer who gets paid by the photo. The more fantastic and spectacular the photo - the more he likely gets paid. So..... either he has a political bias (or) he was trying to maximize his profit.
