Check out these obviously staged photos:

If those weren't staged I'll eat my hat..... well if I had a hat...... OK, I'll eat my cell phone. But it's obvious those two photos were staged so I won't have to!

I don't do PhotoShop, but the right side horizon looks "pixelated" in the supposedly undoctored photo.

Blown up in Photoshop, the so-called undoctored image has less detail than the doctored one. They need to publish the full image as it came from the camera, with all the metadata.

The Un-American Snakesman had me dead in an auto- accident in 1980.

Glad to hear you've recovered.

I haven't had a chance to go through all the posts here, but here are a couple things on the blogs:
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/184206.php
Another Fake Reuters Photo from Lebanon Another photo by Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj has been shown to be doctored. The photo, which proports to be of an Israeli F-16 firing missiles on Lebanon has been doctored to make the photo seem more sensational. [...] Okay, so two Reuters photos from Adnan Hajj Ali have been debunked? Any more? Yes. Dan Riehl finds more evidence here.
I believe we are seeing the tip of the iceberg. Here are a few other photos that appear to have been doctored. Scroll through them. If you have Photoshop skills, we could use your help.

That depends on whether you've had a chance to thaw or not.

Kind of makes me wonder. And this kid has great skin tone and color for somebody who is dead.

I can't see the importance of it all.

If we let this one slip by as "oh, that's not so bad" then the temptation will be greater to slip one in of greater importance. Better to make it abundantly clear that (1) fakes will be detected & publicized rapidly, and (2) anyone faking news photos should & will be publicly flogged & fired.

It's like punishing someone for "reckless endangerment" - nobody got hurt, but we're still gonna punish 'em for taking the risk.

I think the bloodstained looking area is just a pattern. The man holding her is Green Helmet man. Somehow, he managed to get his helmet and orange vest off by the time he reached the ambulance, unlike in this photo.

OK, you're on the list(s). You'll also get Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans pings with this designation.
