Sitting at his computer on a Saturday, and next thing ya know, Reuters is recognized as a fraud for its fauxtography. Good job Mike Thorson!

"I was shocked," Thorson said later. "This is supposed to be serious. Reuters is a very well-known and respected wire service."

Say what?
Reuters?
I suppose that is how it earned the fond nickname of ROTO ROOTER? Doesn't sound like a "respected" news source to me. Also they can't seem to use the word "terrorist". They just can't figure out what that is.

I'm listening to Fox News interview one of the passengers on that London-DC flight which landed in Boston because of suspect materials, and the passenger said all the airline passengers have been self-deputized and are alert to their fellow passengers. The same thing is happening to the "news": the consumers of the "news" are now investigating the veracity of that "news." And it's a good thing, too.

Good analogy - absolutely correct. I remember our first couple of flights after 9/11 - everybody was pretty vigilant about who was on those planes. Seems to be coming back strong again after the London plot was foiled last week.
Dan Rather then tries to pass off a fake story and now people question the "news". This guy remembered the whole Blather TANG fraud and the Little Green Footballs involvement, so he went there to post his suspicions. It's a damn good thing he did.

If this is the guy that alerted little green footballs I can't help but think that statement about Reuters is laced with sarcasm. I'm sure he is laughing with his friends that the sarcasm was not picked up in the story.

Well-known maybe. Respected, NO.
To: Kryptonite
What a story! Little Green Footballs always acknowledged a tip from a reader lead to their Reuters investigation and smack down

Weird headline--thought they caught the Janesville man in the middle of doctoring the photo. Someone really needs to work on the headline writing.

He sure seems to be! He's just a regular old American just like you and me. Except that he's an artist well acquainted with PhotoShop
