Dadgum, dude.
Did you put all those keywords up there?
Those keywords yours too?
Does anyone have that great thread from zombienet(?) that detailed the 4 identified types of photo fraud Rutgers has perpetrated?
Thanks for that, It's pretty good.
The Reutergate scandal and issues with Beirut Photos in general.
There are 2 areas of concern: 1) Staging of photos and; 2) Doctoring of photos. Links are in chronological order.
RECAPS:
Excellent Video recap by aish.com
Excellent Video recap by Michelle Malkin
CNN's Anderson Copper Admits to seeing staging plus Germany TV video catches Green Helmet in the Act
ISSUE 1, STAGING OF PHOTOS:
"Milking it" (Critical look at Qana photos)
"Hezbollywood? Evidence mounts that Qana collapse and deaths were staged"
"Reuters calls the doctor, take 2" (Powerline blog exposes yet another suspect group of photos same damage reported as new 12 days apart).
"Extreme Makeover - Beirut Edition" (Drinking from Home exposed more photos. This time, the same woman is shown losing her home first in Southern Beirut on 7/22 and then in the "suburbs of Beirut" on 8/5)
"Shaking the Dead" (Confederate Yankee shows staged photos of a "rescue worker" grasping a hand protruding from the rubble for both Reuters and AP)
"The Passion of the Toys" (Slublog has a collection of all the posed stuffed animals among the ruble)
"Lights, Camera, Action!" Red Cross workers pose for fauxtos
Green Helmet the movie director [Germany's NDR busts him in the act]
ISSUE 2, DOCTORING OF PHOTOS
Little Green Footballs uncovered an obviously doctored photo by Hajj (Beirut Smoke)
It was quickly picked up here on FR
Reuters admits the first photo (Beirut smoke) was doctored and suspended Hajj
That photo with the smoke is so incredibly obvious I don`t see how anyone could miss it. But Reuters initially used it didn`t they? That says a lot about them.
The keywords come from the other posts on this subject that people added as they went along. Especially "The Passion of the Toys" and the original Reuters Fauxtography post. (see roundup above)
LOL -- they're very good!
Bump and bookmark.

The caption says that this kid was pulled out from the rubble of a destroyed building. She's as clean as the spotless throw-down stuffed animals that pop up in the scenes. There's not a speck of concrete dust in her hair and her pink shirt couldn't be any cleaner. And the crusted dried blood around her mouth was added after pulling her out of the rubble.
