Ok....pardon my ignorance re: these matters....
but to what purpose would Reuters 'add' plumes of smoke to these pictures? To what gain or purpose??? What could their motive/agenda have possibly been?
Much like the conspiracy theory wackos that claim that Bush had the twin towers blown up (or down) with explosives.....
I just don't 'get' the reasoningm, motivation, or gain in doing so.
Please explain and enlighten me.
Oh, that's easy. You see, the MSM doesn't care about the truth. All they care about is profit. Get a money shot with lots of destruction and people start paying more attention to your product. This, of course, gives the freelance Arab photographer a lot of incentive, since it also happens to be in his best interest to make the war look as bad as possible. The more destruction, smoke and fire, the less humane Israel is. And wow, a few bucks to boot!
So it's all a very mutual friendship; a win-win situation for both sides. Not so much for America or Israel, but hey, at least a few bucks are made all around and the middle east propaganda machine has a ready & willing outlet straight into our living rooms.
