Hmmmn.

Notice that the Israeli is portrayed as "reacting" to the murders, that he is saddened by what he is photogrpahing.

but the Palestinian photogrpaher is described as if he were on a crusade, on a "job" and is "driven" to report what he wants the world to see.

Interesting difference. But there's NO bias involved when Reuters USES Palestinian terrorists to GET and REPORT and DECIDE what news THEY will send to Reuters!

And, through Reuters, the rest of the world.

Here's a 5 minute clip of the 72 minute movie (from 2005) is on this film festival website:

Someone ping LGF to this information, it may help him in researching Reuters.

The new Reuters "guidelines" are very telling:

Where possible, ask your regional or global picture desks to perform any required further Photo-shopping on their calibrated hi-resolution screens...

(snip)

...All photographers should understand the limitations of their laptop screens and their working environments.

Depends

Apparently Reuters freelancer Adnan Hajj produced hundreds of photos...

We are still waiting for them.

Her husband ''just happens'' to own a big chunk of land which used to belong to the Federal Government (us taxpayers): Hunters Point Naval Shipyards.

Her protégé, Gavin Newsom, current Mayor of San Francisco, is trying to strike up a deal where the San Francisco 49ers will get that land and stay in the city, rather than moving to Santa Clara and building a new stadium down there.

But there seems to be some problem with the Naval shipyard being a Superfund cleanup site.

Stand by for developments as the blinkless wonder simultaneously cleans up corruption in Congress, and finds a way around this ''Inconvenient Truth.''

Bush's fault.

Next that pyscho Rat congressman will be blaming Rove, LGF and Free Republic for the doctored photos.

They are going to work harder to fool us in the future :

"If someone is dismissed but nobody knows who was dismissed, is anyone dismissed?"

Exactly, whenever any organization says that they have punished or dismissed a wrong doer and refuses to identify them, nothing happened. It is just more BS.

why won’t they release the editor’s name?

LOL... It's Reuters, so it's all too possible that they "fired" the unnamed editor to quell critics, then in recognition of the ex-editor's valiant effort to push forward Reuters "progressive" ideals, hired that same person as a Senior Vice President of Reuters.

/S

I suspect the problem wasn't that the photos were doctored, it was that they were so badly doctored.

Getting caught = poor job performance.

What do adult diapers have to do with this?
