HEE HEE HEE........ “fake but accurate” Photoshopping from the land of the Mullahs. Guess they haven’t learned any lessons from “green helmet guy” and all the nonsense Hizbullah pulled in Lebanon..... or maybe they did learn the lesson, which is that even the most flagrant lying propaganda can be swallowed by much of the western MSM.

Maybe they’ve hired Dan Rather as their Minister of Propaganda.

In all honestly it is my belief that this photo was purposely photo shopped (badly) to cast doubt in the effectiveness of the Iranian missile programs. Now the media and the pundits of Iran can scapegoat the issue with the spin “SOME OF THE PHOTO’S WHERE FAKE” thus casting doubt and keeping any meaningful action at bay because of this doubt.

The Overall objective of all these warnings, test, threats and propaganda have one purpose. The continuation of their nuclear weapons projects. Any talk of Iranian allies disembarking from their relationship with Iran or talk of ending or halting or agree to western demands in regards to their nuclear programs or even saber rattling are also distractions in order to continue their nuclear weapons programs.. They will get the bomb whether we like it or not.

There is only one and I repeat only one way to stop their nuclear weapons program. And that is to pry it out of their dead hands. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

FReeper drzz pointed this out in the first thread about this. Iranian TV showed this image (supposedly this is what actually happened):



Now compare it to the photoshopped version, which has an extra missile. Looking at the plume, it seems to be a clone of the second from left, with a smoke trail added at the bottom (although the 2nd-from-left's plume looks different than the one on TV). Also the smoke at the bottom is bigger and lighter in this version:

a point that had not emerged before the photo appeared on the front pages of The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, The Chicago Tribune and several other newspapers as well as on BBC News, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, NYTimes.com and many other major news Web sites.

BS. You ran with it without question. Not like any good news that the Bush Administration has coming out of Iraq.

You should put the byline of the website you STOLE it from. It should BE the headline. "LGF" or whover "Exposes Iranian missile hoaxed photo"

After all, if FR is going to get SLAMMED for a parody photo of John Kerry with Jane Fonda being taken OUT OF CONTEXT (and omitting the detail that it was posted to a thread with a LEGITIMATE photo of Kerry and Fonda together at a Vietnam war rally), then they OWE it to the news source that SCOOPED them.

From the Blogosphere (Michelle Malkin):

Fauxtography-fest 2008!

************************** EXCERPT****************************


>

Here we go again. You’ll all remember how the MSM brought us the first Fauxtography-fest in the summer of 2006. Well, the photo fakers and their dupes in the media are baaaack. And the blogosphere’s all over them.

LGF’s Charles Johnson and Brian Ledbetter have the rundown on the digitally enhanced Iranian missiles in an image distributed by Agence France-Press. See also: Kamangir, Blackfive, Pat Dollard, EU Referendum, Ace, Jim Hoft, Suitably Flip.

The AFP has retracted the photo. The NYT, fresh from its own photo-distorting embarrassment, reports:

Updated, 9:33 a.m., Agence France-Presse has retracted the image as “apparently digitally altered.”

As news spread across the world of Iran’s provocative missile tests, so did an image of four missiles heading skyward in unison. Unfortunately, it appeared to contain one too many missiles, a point that had not emerged before the photo appeared on the front pages of The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, The Chicago Tribune and several other newspapers as well as on BBC News, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, NYTimes.com and many other major news Web sites.

Amuse us. Tell us again about the MSM's careful fact-checking and commitment to accuracy.
