FAKE "2nd photo" of Kerry-Fonda at rally
Vanity | Feb. 11, 2002 | Self

Posted on 02/12/2004 2:47:30 PM PST by Madstrider

Hey, Freepers: I don't know who PhotoShopped that fake "2nd photo" of Kerry and Fonda at the antiwar rally, but you should know that you came within AN EYELASH of causing a huge embarassment.

Thank goodness Raoul made a phone call, so Kristinn just got a call from somebody who is a longtime press friend of FR who was about to go nationwide with the "2nd photo" story. You've got no idea how close this was to being a train wreck.

I am told NewsMax actually got suckered on this.

The same veterans who had circulated the original Fonda-Kerry photo apparently got hold of the PhotoShop fake and didn't know it was a joke. So when these veterans contacted the press Thursday morning claiming to have a second photo -- man! A lot of valuable time was wasted as reporters contacted Associated Press trying to verify the existence of this fake photo.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful with this kind of stuff.

Soon, photographic evidence of anything will become worthless. And after that, video.

I'm catching up for the day. You referred to two FReepers. Did you mean the ones I addressed?

Which photo is fake and which is real?

This is how we are going to ruin these stories about Kerry. Sometimes its best to sit back and let it happen on its own.
It is clear the democratic party is emploding and they dont need much help from us right now.

If this would have happened the left media would have been able to say the radical right is not credible etc.

Example: instead of letting CBS air the Reagan movie a controversy was started by the right and CBS dropped the movie and we are accused of censorship. Had the movie aired as planned CBS would have finally been exposed to a massive audience for its bias.

You may not agree with me but there is a reason the VRWC is believed by many.

I'm a bit confused, which Kerry-Fonda photo is fake, and which one is real?

The one where you can only see part of Fonda's body and not her face and it's black and white is "real" and the one with Fonda sitting down looking up with Kerry in the background is fake?

What does 'Registered' mean? Another thread shows the two photos from which the composite was made.

It was established by a couple of sharp FReepers on a thread last evening that the 2nd pic was a fraud. Someone's idea of a joke(?) I guess. IMO, save the Photoshop stuff for humor threads, or identify it as such.

The fake pic showed Kerry on stage with Fonda. It was on Newsmax earlier today but it's gone now.

No excuse here, but anyone in publishing should have spotted the fake immediately.

"registered" is a username.

I've read the relevant threads just now and I'm deeply, deeply confused about the whole thing. There are no actual links to the fake pic, I think, unless the sitting down at the rally pic is the fake one. (which I guess it isn't.)

There ALSO is a fake pic of Kerry in front of a North Vietnamese flag. People have been using it as if it were real; Vietnam Vets against Kerry or whatever created it and have a link explaining they made it and it's not "real", but it's still an UNBELIEVABLY dumb thing to do.

NO!

The color photo of Fonda in the foreground and JFK way in the background with his head above hers is REAL

The one that looks like a newspaper clipping with Fonda at the microphone and Kerry holding papers is a Photoshop composite and is FAKE Spread the word!
