Fez, that was just as bad as Sava's post.
At you monkspider.. I been reading your posts.. and all they do is annoy the heck out of me. I try to ignore them, but they are so.. ugh...For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Strange that they changed the pic especially since I can not see any real difference between the two.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

Exactly what DinoDoc said.
I loaded their pic in photoshop and improved it a bit, and the people most certainly look different.
The only reason for "blurs" and "look alikes" is that the writer has purposefully scanned the picture in a really small resolution, and then resized it so that all the faces would look like a bunch of pixels, that can be claimed to "look alike".

As a journalist, I wonder if the good Simone Moore and Russ Kick bothered to even contact the Evening Standard prior to posting the alleged doctored photo to see what the newspaper in question had to say.
At this point in time, I am aware of *one* instance in Western media where a photo was manipulated and published. The photo and manipulation was done by a photographer for the Los Angeles Times. The photographer submitted the manipulated photo to his unknowing editors, who didn't discover his trickery until *after* the photo had run.
The photographer basically took parts of two photographs and, using Photoshop (or similar software), combined certain elements from each photo into a single photo, which then was published. It wasn't even a major change done by the photog — he basically shifted a smiling soldier closer to a smiling child and manipulated the angle slightly.
The end result? The photographer was immediately *fired* from his position and is now BLACKLISTED by reputable news organizations in print, television and the Internet. IOW, people, this man will *never* again hold a job as photojournalist, all because of a moment of idiocy on his part.
The moral of the story? Don't f*ck with the photos, and don't f*ck with the news copy, because when we find out, we will terminate your journalism career.

*Gasp* The left lying to say their opponents are liars? NO!
How ironic!

Indeed. I wonder how, exactly, the New York Times stuffed up that famous "policeman in front of bleeding Israeli" photo...that isn't stupid, that's crossing the line from stupidity to utter lieing."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

Just another example in a long line of the subtle deceptions that the conservative-dominated media will use to push people towards supporting illegal wars of aggression.
Why is it that you Anglo peoples cant get good propaganda?
Come over to Moscow or Beijing and learn a thing or two about propaganda.

Your posts are looking a little less extreme.....And it's beginning to encourage me to step out of my "extreme left wing communist" stance.

This is silly. I don't even see what you're talking about with the photos. And where is the Standard reaction? Where are the other papers running stories on this manipulation? May as well go to Indymedia.com for this kind of tripe.
