Now that the photo falsity is out, I would bet that in
a few days, professionals will bring out more.
Clearly, Reuters has egg on their face ala CBS.

Someone at Guardian (UK) debunked a claim made by a blog RE: Qana. There was a claim about some "blurred writing" on the front of a guy's white shirt. The Guardian had access to a pic with better resolution than the pic published on the web & posted a close up of the area of the shirt in question. The shirt had a Fila logo, which was another thing that raised questions at that blog.

I don't think the pros are motivated to bust open stories about fudging news and/or photos. I think they prefer this would all just go quietly away. A "pundit" may be interested & may have access to better quality photos.
