    Wow, that really is quite interesting. However, I don't think it takes away from the situation at hand. It's still continually getting worse, regardless of photo "sympathy" frauding or not.

    This is fairly disgraceful.

    u get your news from internet sites? i trust reuters journalists over an internet site which has no standards of reliability, plus, i suspect much of the report itself is doctored. and fyi- u don't have to look hard in lebanon to find carnage.

    those photos were clearly doctored, were they used? I do not know.

    and the site wasnt really about the carnage, it is how the pictures were manufactured.

    at worst its lazy journalism but again i doubt the validity of the reportinge by a website. if this was true- the pro-right media here would pounce on it, and the pro-right media is all encompassing in the united states, at least as it relates to the mid-east.

    You want to now what's really pathetic? Fox News letting people in this country believe that Israeli rockets aren't the main cause of the destruction on their city, but that of poor construction work. The rest is just asanine propoganda. You tell me, how messed up is this country's media? Look for yourself.

    To tell you the truth, I have a hard time listening to any TV news, other than BBC, for more than a few minutes. And Fox just gives me a headache.

    Well, since the US News and World Report was one of the magazines doctoring photos, or at the very least lying about their contents, something tells me that that just ain't true.

    Do some reading on the USNWR, it's right wing all right, and rags more shameful in their pandering are few and far between.

    I never watch the news, period. You find out enough just by staying away from it and in fact you know more than what they can even tell you is going on. A friend of mine gave me that video clip from Youtube, I laughed my ass off.
