Another Faked Photo

To my knowledge CBS News is still hiding from responsibility for the photo fraud that appeared at its Website on March 21st. Perhaps they are as ashamed of themselves as they ought to be.

Whatever is going on over there, it only brings into higher relief the responsibility of the Los Angeles Times in their handling of a faked war photograph foisted on them.

They have fired a staff photographer who worked for them since 1998, and you can have a look at the case here.

If the CBS photo was doctored, it changed the meaning of the photo. The LAT photo's changes really didn't change anything about the photo's meaning, it was just done for a more dramatic photo.

the shape of the river in the first pic reminds me of the Thames (I watch too much Eastenders me thinks)
