Just liked the title...Reuters purges Photo Database.

[al baby]

I love the information age don't you They can't fool us anymore and they are getting as desperate as the Hezboes

[alancarp]

I have to purge after seeing most Reuters articles, pictures included or not.

[windsorknot]

First Reuters binges, gets caught, then purges.

[glorgau]

They are running the shredders! Just like Enron. ;-)

[Dallas59]

Has anybody been able to scan all the pics from the Photoshop Photographer?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Reuters needs to have its feet held firmly to the fire, with or without extra smoke. Who was the photo editor who reviewed the questionable photos and allowed them to be published? He or she is either totally incompetent or a shill for terrorists. In the first case, a firing is in order. In the second, a firing squad might be more appropriate.

Sweeping the evidence under the rug?

"Reuters has withdrawn all photographs taken by Beirut-based freelance Adnan Hajj .."

Correction:

Reuters has withdrawn all photographs taken by Beirut-based Hizbullah propaganda officer Adnan Hajj


Fixed it.

[hsalaw]

what it calls "the gravest breach" of Reuters standards

Reuters has standards? Wow. Now THAT'S news!

[Arnold Zephel]

I managed to get this little nugget off before they purged the database.

[Palladin]

Adnan Hajj will go into the Liars Hall of Fame right next to Baghdad Bob.

[ChadGore]

Jason Blair, Adnan Hajj, Dan Rather.

Doctoring photos is "bad" at Reuters, but "staging" them is still OK.

[RonDog]

Tom Szlukovenyi, the Reuters global picture editor said:

"There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image.

How about deliberate STAGING a photograph?

Is that still O.K.?

How Phony Can They Get?

Here’s a touching scene, featuring Cindy Sheehan and the Reverend Al Sharpton, in front of crosses, looking solemn and sad.

Now let’s zoom out and see the media swarm around this manufactured event:

(Hat tip: Bill P.)

[JennysCool]

I googled some of Hajj's photos, and among them are some pretty fine sports pictures. Too bad he didn't stick to sports, instead of going for the propaganda. I feel a bit sorry for him, because I suspect his superiors at Reuters were just as culpable, but let him take the fall.

[attackcartoons]

[upchuck]

This reply is just for the tag line :)

[Proud_USA_Republican]

The should purge the entire POS company while they are at it.

[DoughtyOne]

Rooters, where a photo is worth 1,000 turds.
