Another photo by Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj has been shown to be doctored. The photo, which proports to be of an Israeli F-16 firing missiles on Lebanon has been doctored to make the photo seem more sensational. Here is the original Reuters photo along with its caption.

Charles (on Drudge just a while ago) suggested that "Adnan Hajj" gets around too much to be one person, that it is probably a group of stringers handing off this crap to Reuters.
any way to get the names of reuters journalists or those they contract with in the middle east just for some googling?
My pleasure.
This could become a full-time job, looking through all the garbage they're putting out from Lebanon.
Abb, I saw your dinosaur media deathwatch ping. Could you hit that again?
Thx

This is great. Rather is proof that once credibility is lost, it is not regained. Reuters will never be the same. Every report will be tainted.
What a jerk. Missiles go ahead of the plane.
"A couple of things stick out as being immediately wrong with this photo. First off, look at the line that separates the lower half of the photo and the upper half (where the smoke begins). It looks a bit too perfect and too distinct to be a natural hill top." "More importantly, however, check out the direction of the shadows in the lower portion of the picture. Note that the Sun is behind and to the left of the photographer. Shadows are being cast upwards and backwards of the buildings. However, check the mountain behind the smoke. What's missing? The dark smoke does not appear to be casting any shadow on the mountain behind it. Now, granted, the mountain in the background could be farther away than in appears in the photo, but things just don't seem to add up. "

Yeah, I'm listening to Drudge right now.
An F16 flies mach 1.6-8 max and any missle fired at least twice that. One wonders why the missles fired are behind the firee (our secret "change up" missles)?
Thanks!
Ya beat me to it!

If that's not the fakest ever. No... they've done worse.
Gives a new meaning to smoke and mirrors. /s
Perhaps it is time for people to advise those same media sources that if they continue to run Reuter's reports that their subscription will be cancelled... and mean it! That will not only get the publishing media's attention but that of the dirt bag Reuter editors which release this kind of crap!
I sure you meant to nominate him for a "Putzer Prize"!!!
