Does anyone doubt that exploiting civilian casualties in order to manipulate mainstream media is an important (perhaps the most important) part of Hezbollah’s military campaign? Could you then conclude that Hezbollah is deliberately trying to get civillians killed for this purpose?

Would it then follow that these photographers, and the editors that fail to scrutinize, are compatriots (either willingly or in ignorance) in Hezbollah’s campaign?

The blogger who pointed out the “errors” was threatened by someone within Reuters who has since been fired.

So much for self correcting unbiased reporting!

Blog “stuffâ€Â? is not always opinion.Most news agencies have blogs from several of their key “celebritiesâ€Â? such as Anderson Cooper. Second, bloggers such as Mike Yon not only go to Iraq and Afghanistan on their own dime – but report the truth – good bad and ugly – to an appreciative intelligent audience – who pay out of their pockets to support his efforts. Not beholding to anyone – he speaks the truth. So much so – that MSM news organizations use HIM and his work as their source of information…and constantly interview him in order to bring some semblance of truth to their reporting.

You’re right, it’s not always opinion. But original reporting is few and far between, agreed?

And this is not to say that the MSM doesn’t get it wrong sometimes. They do, but they often times own up to it and try to correct it. What else would you ask of them? Sometimes thing are outright lies, sure, but again…this is a self correcting system. If you don’t tell the truth, odds are you’re gonna be out on your ass fairly soon.

What a blatant and sloppy touch-up. The photo editor for Reuters should be fired. I wonder what motivated the alteration. Advertiser, editor, or the lack of confidence by Mr. Adnan Hajj. I think we all know the answer. I’m so glad that Reuters dropped him. He just destroyed any credibility his work will ever have, and forever reminds the world of yellow journalism and the muckrakers. I hope he gets stuck with a job at fotomat, or taking pictures for Walmart.

Having worked with the MSM and actually having “READ” and “LISTENED” to the MSM daily, and more importantly actually being able to understand what is being said – the MSM not only LIES outrightly on much of what it reports as “facts” – but when it s not lying its distorting the truth by framing the stories from a biased agenda.
Any reputable news agency should NEVER be biased in its reporting. Yet every MSM organization is indeed biased, arrogant, and convinced that their shit doesn’t stink and that fools will believe that they are a source of “facts”

An ironic reminder of a recent statement – blog stuff is opinion, not fact. Get your facts from the MSM.

Hey, we’re good fact checkers and this proves it. But original reporting? Not so much.

Also, Reuters has now pulled of this guy’s photos just in case they were manipulated. I think that’s an appropriate response and I applaud it.

Actually, they are dying because of a 6- year attempt to annihilate the state of Israel and Israel’s attempt to stop that from happening. They are dying because Hiz’b'allah fires its missiles from apartment building roofs. Either the Israelis eat the missiles or they take out the launchers. The deaths of civilians is unavoidable and they are clearly Hiz’b'allah’s fault.
