OK, now things are getting weird.
This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image. (Hat tip: Mike.)
It’s so incredibly obvious, it reminds me of the faked CBS memos. Smoke simply does not contain repeating symmetrical patterns like this, and you can see the repetition in both plumes of smoke. There’s really no question about it.
Smoke billows from burning buildings destroyed during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut’s suburbs August 5, 2006. Many buildings were flattened during the attack. REUTERS/Adnan Hajj

LOL! I actually called my Wife in to take a look at the pic from the Reuters website. Before I could finish asking her, "Now, what's wrong with---"
She exclaimed, "THAT'S PHOTOSHOPPED!!"
I almost died laughing!

Whenever I look at a Google Earth image all I get is something at least 3 years old?

What's the point in faking? We all know of the bombings for crying out loud! Exaggeration. Plain and simple.

Yeah, thats why is it going to be tough to match the buildings up with what you are seeing on current photos.
To: Blogger
And that one is so staged it's hard to decide where to begin criticizing it. I guess the first would be how they're both looking up towards someone for directions on what to do next for the picture. Looking up at the cameras to pull a body out of the rubble? I don't think so.

We need to do a search on all of the enemedia's sites, find out which ones are running this fake pic, screenshot it and save for posting on this thread. I haven't found it on CBS or ABC, but it's still a bit early.

Is the photo still up on Reuters website? I could not find it. Perhaps I missed it or has it been pulled?
To: Iscool
None. If I did, I wouldn't be using Clone a lot.

Even a picture isn't worth a thousand words anymore, especially if its from the MSM. HA! Consider the source! What is a thousand words from the MSM worth anyway?
