Exposing Gateway Pundit’s Dishonesty: He Altered a CT Scan Image to Trick His Readers

Here’s another follow-up to my article about Jim Hoft’s dishonest tactics in promoting his bogus claim that officer Darren Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in a purported struggle with teenager Michael Brown.

As I pointed out in the earlier piece, Hoft posted a stock image of a CT scan of a fractured eye socket, but apparently erased the words “UNIV OF IOWA” from his copy of the image.

Well, thanks to LGF readers @franklinftw and @loveheylola, I can now remove the word “apparently” from that description, because we have proof that Hoft (or someone who works with him) did indeed alter that CT scan, almost certainly to mislead people into believing it was an image of officer Darren Wilson. (And he was successful in fooling many right wingers, including Ann Coulter.)

A cached version of Hoft’s page at the Internet Archive Wayback Machine captured at 18:08:39 (UTC) on August 19th shows that when Hoft first posted the image, it did contain the words “UNIV OF IOWA.” Here’s a screenshot of the Internet Archive’s cached version:

I remember when LGF was on the other side of the equation, before he became a Lefty. Did an excellent job of exposing Pallywood and Green Helmet Guy.

Me too. What happened?

Even Lefties can defend Israel. I’ve often made the case that Israel is a Lefty paradise. Pro-Gay, Socialist, and despite what her enemies say, is very inclusive.

I don't think so. The left has been heavily influenced by the anti Israel crowd, the Muslim Jew haters, and the hard line communists. I do not ever remember the current level of open hatred for Israel in my life. Ever.

I guess “They SHOULD defend Israel” makes more sense. Why they don’t boggles my mind, other than the fact that some Evangelicals support Israel.
