the whole edifice of moral equivalency, necessarily buttressed by leftist-warrior-journalistic-fellow-travellers....
is, as we blog, experiencing its very dying breaths..... good riddance!

Oh, unholy god above- self congratulatory, much??
Lazy journalistic techniques uncovered!! Sell two photos shot on the same day - twice - on two consecutive days, thanks to creative captioning.
Double your money! Make a picture of smoke... look like there's slightly more smoke!!!
You're seeing a conspiracy where none exists. Congratulations... you're the right wing IGTG. |

obviously you haven't been following the full story. And reuters has been at the anti-Israel thing for YEARS. But this is the first time the scandal has broken more or less globally, it's been covered by all major networks, including even CNN and even left-leaning sources such as Christian Science Monitor.
Basically, like the fake CBS memos, it exposes the leftist bent of most mainstream journalists.
And it also highlights the consistent efforts of Palestinian and Arab terror sympathizers to FAKE stories. |

IT'S PROOF!! They're out to get me!!
Like I say... I don't doubt photographers aren't above chucking a stuffed toy in front of the burning building to build the pathos, and increase the saleability of their pic. They caption their photos in the most compelling way possible for the same reason.
It's all put up to go on sale, SALE!!! Dollar bills y'all.
This isn't a smoking gun. Give it up. |

| It's money...perhaps there's a left wing bias in the media, but this isn't an example of it. |

Left-wing bias in the media? How about massive discrepancies with Reuters free-lancers. There aren't several cases out there, its a lot of photoshop done to make the Israeli attacks look more brutal.
But hey, this isn't being done by free-lancer Reuters correspondants who may or may not have certain sympathies or may be receiving extra money for their services.
C'mon, you can acknowledge that this is journalism at its worst without subscribing to all of sundubuman's diatribes. |
