There's no reason the fictional stories propagated by the dying media shouldn't be accompanied by faked-up photographs. You know the old saying, "One picture is worth a thousand lies."

I wonder why Dan Rather isn't in the photo. He was Saigon bureau chief for SeeBS back in the 60s.

VF jumped the shark when Graydon Carter went mentally ill over Iraq. From about 1997-2003, it was at the top of American magazines.

The lack of barrel distortion in Arnett's image is a dead give-away.
The scene was shot with a wide angle lens. It has what's called "barrel distortion". (As opposed to pincushion distortion.) Distortion in an image is defined as mapping errors between the object and the image. A rectangle in the object space should map to the image space as a rectangle. When its edges bow outward, as the do with a wide angle lens, the image has barrel distortion. If they bow inward, it's pincushion distortion. Arnett, if he were really there, can be thought of as the edge of that rectangle. He should appear bowed outward, just as the fellow on the other side of the scene is. Instead, his image is mapped out along a vertical line.
So, unless Arnett was feeling particularly swishy that night, there's no way he could have been present for the photo.

Arnett was not present when photographer Jonas Karlsson shot a group portrait of eight journalists last April. Anti-Arnett Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
I read this sentence too quickly and almost got my hopes up. ;-)

Well, at least they didn't have Arnett nude on the cover. |

didn't they come out and say he was "outside the photograph" and that's why it was OK to add him in later?
outside, indeed.
