HELP!

I've read LGF, Malkin, etc. and of course, the FR tthreads...

But what is the BEST, most CONCISE, compilation that discusses both the F16, smoking Beirut, Green Helmet etc. all in one place without too much detail that would be good for emailing out to the great unwarshed!?!?

I get it, you get it, but what about your granny's friend that watches Nightly News? I haven't really found a single site that has an explanation tailored to them, and I don't think I'm capable either.

Any recommendations?

That's the problem with web-based stuff-- you have to follow all the links, search the comments for further fact-checking, links, etc., and pull it together yourself-- it's why people still watch the nightly news. Damn it.

Nonetheless, let me take a stab at it:

Here's where it started:


Over at LGF, Charles runs an explosive expose on al-Reuters doctoring photos from Beirut. The implications of such deceit are staggering. link: 816 comments |


Here's where it stand today:

The Larger Issue

Richard at EU Referendum has some very apt comments on the Reuters Photoshop Scandal, and the likelihood that photos of the aftermath of the Qana bombing were staged by Hizballah. I’ve tried to bring up this subject in every interview, because I agree with Richard that this practice is much more insidious than clumsy image editing.


A synopsis of better links:

Kudos to LGF for spotting the photoshopping. And to the Freepers who helped demonstrate the fakery. Ace o' Spades, Hot Air, and Left & Right get honorable mentions as well. JPod at the Corner also notes Charles' takedown of Reuters.
