They just can't help it

The MSM, that is. This could have been a case of a photographer photoshopping the image to make it more marketable, but if a Reuters employee did it, he/she should be fired. If he did it with the knowledge of his superiors, . . . Does Reuters really have any credibility left to lose?

Update: Reuters has withdrawn the photo. Too bad the damage is already done.

Update: Reuters has banned the author of the faked photo from its freelance roster.

Meanwhile, Riehl World View has uncovered another phonied up photograph in the media. They're really going to have be more careful, especially when it's obvious that the Arabs are demanding that the press show more carnage. I mean, when Hezbollah goes to all that trouble to get Lebanese civilians killed by Israeli artillery, bombs and missiles, you want those images shown around the world, no? Someone needs to tell them the story of the boy who cried "Wolf!"
