News agency Reuters has been forced to admit that footage it released last week purportedly showing Russian submersibles on the seabed of the North Pole actually came from the movie Titanic.
The images were reproduced around the world - including by the Guardian and Guardian Unlimited - alongside the story of Russia planting its flag below the North Pole on Thursday last week.
Titanic error: Reuters issued this film still with a story about the Russian flag being planted beneath the North Pole. Photograph: Reuters

It's good that they take their work seriously, after the Adnan Hajj incident last year.

Reuters just needs to buy and save Weekly World News to build a stronger platform for their editorial philosophy. ;)

Another case of MSM “making it up as we go along” which leads to the inevitable question: How much have they gotten away with in the past?

Hmmm. I copied the picture credit without thinking. Somebody gave Reuters credit for a photo IN A STORY ABOUT HOW IT WASN'T THEIR PHOTO.
At least I am not in the journalism biz.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, and Reuters gets the pictures wrong....

Back in the 50's BBC and Reuters were considered the "titans" of the news industry when it came to accuracy and accountability.
Turns out they were the "Titanics" of the industry who let the liberals take the wheel and plowed them right into their current *iceberg.
* Like reverse global warming.

A 13 year old kid found it? Was he wearing pajamas?
To: Izzy Dunne
The deception was only revealed after a 13-year-old Finnish schoolboy contacted a local newspaper to tell them the images looked identical to those used in the movie. The Emperor has on clothes on!

Are you suggesting that the Bat Boy photo is not real?
P.S. How's the C. O. T. plan (in your tagline) working out for you?
