In the future, we will make sure all Photoshopped images are done by persons using the software PROPERLY

Properly means fixing colors and levels, removing dust and scratches, cropping (although certain crops can have the effect of doctoring the image), etc.

The photos in question that you refer to are not forgeries, they are actual undoctored photographs, in my opinion.

At issue is whether they were staged with bodies taken from morgues or actually dug out from wreckage.

Victims and rescuers generally look like this:

They generally do not look like this, with rigor mortis set in, only an hour (purportedly) after they were removed from the wreckage by squeaky clean rescuers:

While there is plenty of room to feel sadness and pity for these poor children, we are at war, and their remains, images and memories are being defiled by the people who purport to be their advocates, Hezbollah.

Staged and doctored. Getting as bad as a Playboy shoot.

Beats me why a photographer or editor would risk his job over that, or how anyone that inept could have gotten the gig in the first place.

Either Yahoo didn't "get" the memo to "PictureKill" this image or they ignored it. The yahoo link still shows the hoaxed image with NO declaration of the manipulation.

The Terrorist Media alert!

weegee, I know you and ForGod'sSake have already pinged us to this thread, but I think we need to add another category to the Shenanigans and Schadenfreude lists, to denote when our favorite media outlets are committing treason against our troops and the country and/or aiding and abetting Islamic terrorists (but I repeat myself...).

This seems to be a real trend lately with the Lamestream, and I think that "The Terrorist Media" captures their stance perfectly. It goes beyond Rush's "Drive-By Media" descriptor and doesn't use the overly used and ineffectual "treason" or "sedition" labels.
