"Beats me why a photographer or editor would risk his job over that"

Thats just it, they haven't risked their job. The guy was only suspended.

Good point. Plus, when you use stringers, you have no idea how many masters he/she is serving.

It might well be argued that the photoshopper was suspended for not doing a more professional job of fakery.

Makes one wonder how many other Reuters photos have been doctored and never challenged.
