So who can you trust?

Post by Metanis »

So basically you can't trust any media any where any time.

"Reuters admits altering Beirut photo." As John noted last night, the photographer whom Reuters credited on the photo is the same man who shot some of the famous propaganda images from Qana.
Helluva business opportunity right now for a company to provide simple factual news with no editorializing.

Why? You'd just say it's biased because it's not reporting what you believe/want to hear.

No. Perhaps you are that stupid though. By the way, it's YOUR world they're fucking up. You may happen to agree with them now but that will change. Then you are screwed.

This post makes it obvious you didn't bother to check out the photos in question. Good job looking like a moron. I have to work hard at it but you seem to pull it off quite easily.

Yes this is a retarded and completely unnecessary stunt to pull. Everyone knows Beirut is being bombed horrifically without some douchebag with photoshop turning this incident into a whipping stick for fuckwits like Metanis.

Nick, I took the liberty of forwarding your work samples to the Reuters Agency. I know they have a vacancy right now and you would appear to be a perfect candidate for the position.

Anything for a buddy.

That photographer has shit skills in Photoshop. He fucked up the clone tool in a big way...I can't believe with all of the hundreds and hundreds of photos that guy submitted to Reuters he never got caught...I mean seriously...look at that photo....he used the clone tool like my 2 year old daughter would if she tried. Sad
