Can anyone photoshop the Michellin Man stomping through that pic like in Ghostbusters?

Here's a somewhat lame attempt.

I looked at the sitemeter but couldn't find it. Can you point it out to me.

I found a little more on the photoshop stuff re Reuters. Another picture taken at almost exactly the same time. Which brings into question why the shot was used at all. See my comparison here at my STICKY NOTES blog

Perfect!!

Ok now can anyone photoshop Michelle Malkin stomping through that pic like in Ghostbusters?

;)

Which begs the question, BEFORE the internet, just how much did they show and tell us that wasn't true?

You nailed that one. I think it's a sad day and ultimately harmful to our country that the press has so little credibility.

My hats off to all the folks out there who work to uncover this crap.

[Straight Vermonter]

Or Livia.

Also we got to remember that the BBC proudly publicizes that it employees people from all ethnic backgrounds,Muslims 28%

The market is solving the problem of media bias.

Sometimes it's easy to believe it's only a few see the emperor has no clothes. Rush sometimes talks about this. Fact is quite a lot of people know media bias when they see it - but the market was closed; effectively news has been a controlled oligopoly in America for at least half a century.

Fox News is just one example of what happens when new choices allow that oligopoly to be avoided - Rush Limbaugh was the first - and the reason they're both so remarkably successful is they're offering what the market has such a pent-up demand for.

The internet, blogs, cable and talk radio are making the "mainstream" press - into old school buggy whips.

They're on their way out. It's happening faster than anyone could have imagined.

Fox News Channel is way, way ahead of the old-school CNN. MSNBC is even further behind. Talk radio gets bigger every day.

There's reason for much optimism.

The market is working. Capitalism meets muckraking. :)

I propose a Photoshop contest here someday. Some of you guys are just hilarious.

I'll never forget Bagdad Bob telling us there were no Americans in Beruit, and the Marine peeking over his shoulder. That was classic.

I'm a former news photographer..Digi Nikons, Photoshop, AppleMac all the rest of it.

I can't understand why .. or..whoever.. at the picture desk at Reuters distributed the pic with such OBVIOUS signs of cloning.

Its either supreme incompetence or extreme arrogance

[JewishRighter]

Not bad. Maybe if he's bigger?

[null and void]

I'm going with arrogance, and an agenda...

More caption fun for that pic:

Ummm Mahmoud, Mahmoud!! Do you mind if I just call you Moudi? OK, Moudi, baby, we need more ooomph in this shot. Now try throwing that chunk of concrete (I mean harmless little stone) at those big bad Israeli soldiers and show me your well-justified rage at the injustice of it all: But not too much rage because we also need a little despair in this shot along with a kind of downtrodden-ness, if you know what I mean. Ok, Moudi, ready for the next take...and

ACTION!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

We need to think of some term like "blog" for the tired old media leftists, clinging to waterlogged bits of timber (from their sinking old-fashioned wooden boat)

Though it is rapidly becoming moot.

[Straight Vermonter]

Excellent post.
