#1 "Fake but accurate"

Don't trust the MSM or the people they hire. It's that simple. Photo Editors would have noticed that you would think?

#3 Likely a matter of buying from so-called freelancers and saying that they are "good enough".

#4 What would the Germans have given to write the stories and shoot the photos for our newspapers 1939-1945?

#6 Can you or will you ever trust an Ruters or AP photograph from now on is the question? It's not like the is Weekly News of the World or something. The consequences have to be real.

#7 I've never ever even used that Photoshop software but fck eh i know i could do better then that give me just 10 fckin minutes!! Why is this not headline news i ask myself, the MSN's main source of propaganda caught out beyond all beleif and yet not a word about this. What a tragic and sad era we now live in. I was thinking last few days, this war is utterly unwinnable for the west versus islamic savages because of the fact our own medias are nearly all rooting for and activly encouraging and reporting enemy propaganda. I give up hope, no one holds these people accountable for their lies and there lies just get bigger and bolder and more sinister every time. Truly horrid beyond what my limited vocabulary can describe.

#8 Chill Shep - what you do is this; keep coming to sites like this where the truth is being found out and contribute (as you have been), keep telling it to your mates (word of mouth *does* work), keep calling Al-Reuters and the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation out when they blatantly lie and their bias begins to show and you look out for outbreaks of sanity.

I'm massively encouraged by the situation in Lebanon; the MSM is being shown up all over the place (seen the new logo for the BBC for instance?), more people than you might think are in favour of the Israeli action (the Saudis and the Jordanians for example - although they can't say it), the UN is being played for the tools they are and that means the Israelis are getting more time to act (the Iranians really should have jumped at the chance of being a force of 'stability' as the French said, as we know, they don't take kindly to having their nuance thrown back in their face), the Syrians are bricking it, the Iranians are doing what they can, but it seems to me that their strategy is to see what some loon emerging from a well has to say about the whole situation.

And finally, GWB has said the Iranians won't be allowed nuclear weapons - so they won't

Add to that the fact that the Americans owe the Iranians some massive payback for the embassy hostages, the Beirut marines and many many more incidents that the Mullahs have had their filthy fingers in, there are carrier groups 'nearby' and we have all the ingredients for a reckoning...

So, feel better now? ;)

#11 Why that is the sadest excuse of a photoshop photo I have ever seen and I have seen bad ones.:)

#13 When I submitted this around 10 o'clock last night it was still kind of conjectural so I put it under 'Opinion'; by the time I got up around 6 this morning it had clearly moved into 'fact'. The blogosphere is FAST!
