They Distort, We Deride

It's amazing how much of this photo fraud the right side of the blogosphere is exposing. I could spend the next few days updating on the latest examples. Below is just one of the many egregious examples to chose from.

Gateway Pundit nails the New York Times in what appears to be an obvious photo fraud. A July 27, 2006 photo essay with the headline, "Turmoil in the Mideast", by Tyler Hicks intended to show the death & destruction caused by Israel in their conflict with the ruthless Hezbollah terrorists who committed an act of war when they crossed Israel's border, killing 8 soldiers, kidnapping 2. These Hezbollah terrorists also have shot more than a thousand missiles toward Israeli civilian population centers, slaughtering countless innocent women & children (my choice of words - you don't think the NYT would put it that way do you? Get a grip!).

I simply can't do justice to the excellent sleuthing done by the good folks at Gateway Pundit. You really need to follow the link there & read it yourself. Suffice it to say that the journalist, photographer & the many layers of top notch editors & fact checkers at the NYT allowed what clearly seems to be an obvious fraud to foisted on the public.

So tell me, if Israel & the US military are so Eeeeevil, why does anyone need to engage in journalistic malpractice, photo fraud & worse to get their point across?
