I'm sure LG is outraged over this display of shoddy journalism.

Of course they shouldn't edit the photos. That's outrageous.

Why do you think I would defend that? I don't support Helen Thomas or her comments. She's an old senile loon.

What I don't get about the Helen Thomas situation is the sudden turn about of her peers. She's been doing this kind of stuff for years and ceased being a journalist years ago. Her peers supported her when she asked idiotic questions directed at Bush like "why do you want to kill Iraqis" and similar leading and inappropriate questions. There was no backlash towards her then, why now?

This just goes to further prove there are no real news organizations, everyone has an agenda and political slant.

The editing of the photos? I did not read the entire article, but would agree that one should have a pretty high index of suspicion of that if they simply photoshopped a knife out of someone's hand. I can't understand how that would happen by mistake.

Was it an editorial decision to take it out, or who took it out? Do we know that?

They'll invariably blame it on the photographer to attempt to exonerate themselves and get out of the spotlight for this.

At least that's what they did with an almost identical issue in 2006.

Actually, I think they tried to blame it on standard photo cropping procedures:

“The images in question were made available in Istanbul, and following normal editorial practice were prepared for dissemination which included cropping at the edges," the news agency said in a statement. "When we realized that a dagger was inadvertently cropped from the images, Reuters immediately moved the original set as well."

Reuters has yet to respond to charges about the second photo.

Funny how often "accidental mistakes" come out after someone gets caught. :p

This isn't. But he'll include this in some cocakmamie theory of international conspiracy that ends in Obama with horns on his head and drinking the blood of 4 year old orphans.

replace Obama with Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, etc, and he's you.

No.

Limbaugh would never be part of a conspiracy because if was ever put in a position of actual decision-making he would start popping pain pills by the handful every hour and he'd be dead inside the first week.

Coulter would wind herself up so much and speak in that annoying quasi-man shrieking voice with the drawl like she's retarded and from north Texas doesn't ever take a breath. She'd forget to breathe and be dead inside 20 minutes.

Beck would get lost between New York and D.C. He'd just never show up.

Did not read. First sentence could not have been more wrong, so I stopped. Sure it was entertaining and showed how different you are.

I hope for the sake of your clients and also the legal profession that you only make ad hominem attacks on internet message boards and not in court. Even if tongue in cheek.
