Now take note as to how much more BS they've been feeding us as truth.

"Reuters admits altering Beirut photo

Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out 'blatant evidence of manipulation'

A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web logs. The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage.

The photograph showed two very heavy plumes of black smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut after an Air Force attack on the Lebanese capital. Reuters has since withdrawn the photograph from its website, along a message admitting that the image was distorted, and an apology to editors."

Thanks, Konane, very interesting. The sob's are even permeated into our supposedly legit media. (Reuters? Bummer...used to trust them).

The photographer is a terrorist in disguise. How many more of the fungus are among us?

Heard yesterday that FoxNews is the 4th most watched channel on cable, that CNN is somewhere around 25th and dropping ... that the mainstream media as a whole is heading for a meltdown and that article is pointing to why. Don't have cable any more so go to the web for world news to sites where it's checked out, BS filtered through before being put out there for consumption.
