Magazines and newspapers do it all the time.
What is the stink about? I saw one of the pics in an earlier thread here and it had colored squares around what I presume were the photoshopped bits in the pic. It was a picture of a room with what looked like wadded up pieces of paper on the floor.

You mean we cant trust the NY Times?
