The bad about photoshop

[Okiewan]

You may have heard about the Reuter's photog that got bused today (actually on the web forums yesterday) for hosting bogus images by a photog: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3287774,00.html . The fact they fell for it is even worse in that it (the smoking buildings) was such a sloppy hack job. Many feel they have an anti US slant and they may have helped getting the image thru, lol.

Anyway, it brings into question a lot of images from the (and any other I assume) region. Another great example of propaganda:

You would think someone would have noticed that the same woman owned an apartment AND a house in Beirut.

Carry that train of thought to what the government is telling us about 9-11.

Um, yeah. Cheney couldn't get away with shooting a guy in the face, but they've somehow managed to cover up something as big as 9/11. Let's not even go there. At least not in the photography forum!
