I have seen a number of the photos. It appears that one Reuters photographer was recycling and photoshopping (hi Penske!) his work. Reuters has canned him. What I don't understand is why Right Blogistan is so exercised, except that they obviously need something to be excited about given the clusterfuq that is the Middle East and this'll have to do. The guy did things like using pictures of the same woman and destroyed house twice in two weeks, making a photo of an Israeli plane look like the plane was dropping multiple flares instead of one flare, and darkening the smoke from a bombed building. Bad journalism, obviously, and Reuters wasn't getting their money from him, but that's all it was. He was trying to make his photos look better to sell more of them. But there's no larger lie. The woman lost her house. The Israeli plane was dropping flares. And so on.
