Lying with photos
NY Post ^ | June 09, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 06/09/2010 3:50:23 AM PDT by Scanian

The camera never lies, they say -- but what if the photos are sent out by the Reuters news agency?

And especially what if they make Israel look bad?

Which is precisely what happened after IHH, the Turkish "humanitarian" group with longstanding terrorist ties, released photos of the bloody clash between its activists and Israeli commandos who boarded a ship trying to break the Gaza blockade.

One photo shows an Israeli surrounded by IHH "peace" activists, one of whom is holding a knife.

The second shows another Israeli lying under a bloodstained railing as a second IHH activist also holds a knife.

At least that's what appears in the images distributed by The Associated Press.

In the photos distributed by Reuters, there were no knives. And no blood.

We can always count on Rooters, AP, and of course, the NYSlimes and comPost to distort the news to fit their agenda.

Best not to rely on any reporting from the above mentioned entities.

LIES R US seems to be the masthead motto from these haters of the truth.

That’s what the lamestream media does best. Distort the truth however they can.

Remember the photos of Elian Gonzalez? The Federal Agent’s finger was removed from the trigger and an unconvincing smile was placed on Elian’s face.

Wow. And this photo manipulation comes from the same “news” organization that after 9/11 proclaimed that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Who would ever have suspected Reuters of being involved in a campaign to distort news to make terrorists look less dangerous and evil?

A really good eye can see a photo-shopped photo from an original a mile away. Anyway, it is a great tool and I use it for my creative expressions. Go Adobe!
