Some claim that the online controversy over the photos has gotten out of hand, with many blogs now launching investigations and hurling accusations at a variety of news sources.

I can only imagine how out of hand the media would be had Israel staged photos of the dead and injured and enhanced the images of damage done within their cities.

>"That photograph, which was discovered by blogger Rusty Shackleford of The Jawa Report,"

Rusty Shackelford here picitured, is also a contributor to the Gribble Report.

Who coined the word "fauxtography?"

It is catching on.

This has been going on for years, even with your local police and paper.

Look closely the next time you see your local sheriff torching a pile of pot plants.....with all the buds picked off.

original caption: corrected caption:
A Relative carries the body of Rajaa Abu Shaban, into Shifa hospital in Gaza City, Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2006. An Israel air strike against Islamic militants in Gaza City on Wednesday killed three people, including 5-year-old Rajaa Abu Shaban, and wounded two more, Palestinian officials and witnesses said. The Israeli army said its forces attacked a 'terrorist training camp' in Gaza, but gave no further details. (AP photo/Adel Hana) On Thursday, doctors said that the 5-year-old Palestinian girl initially believed to have been killed by an Israeli military strike Wednesday apparently died after sustaining head injuries during a fall from a swing in the same area shortly before the strike.(AP Photo/Adel Hana)

Not related to politics, per se, but Space.COM has an article about another apparent journalistic fraud:

Wired News Pulls Freelancer's Space Stories

The hit by the "real" news media against blogs is that we don't have editors to check out our sources or verify our facts.  Well, it's becoming increasingly obvious that they don't either.  Green Helmet guy and Adnan Hajj join a long list of journalistic frauds, including Jayson Blair, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and Ted Koppel from the "glory days" of old media, even back to McCarthy era hero Walter Duranty of the New York Times.

Well, we are the fact checkers now, and we get it right far more than they do.
