Reuters has suspended its photojournalist Adnan Hajj for doctoring pictures. Guess he was involved in the Qana bombing (photoshoots) that used the same 3 corpses photographed with dozens of men.
Anyone getting a kick out of this?
Anyone checking out his other photos and poor use of the "Clone Tool" in photoshop?

He has
1) Set up photoshoots transporting corpses to be reused in different situations.
2) Used construction sites & garbage dumbs to stage bodies for photos
3) Photoshop edited planes dropping flares, to appear to be launching missles.
4) Photoshoped Beiruit to appear to be bombed beyond belief
5) "Cloned" bombed buildings in numerous photos, taking one building in the middle of a city, and copying it doszens of times to make the city appear bombed out.

IN addition, most hizbolah fighters are (against laws) in civilian clothing. Making them props for "civilian casualties" photos after israel takes out thier positions.

many news outlets do this all the time, it's rare that they are caught, for example, when the statue of Saddam was toppled, the 'huge crowds' must have comprised many sextuplets, because the same people had been cut and pasted many times in that scene.
It then turned out that the 'locals celebrating the fall of Saddam' where in fact a small group of ex Iraqi's flown in from Jordan, specifically for this set-up photo-op. The real locals where prevented from entering the square.
The mainstream news is not a free and open and unbaised reportage of events, it is a blatant attempt to brainwash the population to support an agenda of hate and destruction.
