i have just found this site and wondered if it had published here before as i couldn't find it i thought i would post it again or for the first time

its all about the Reuters news agency which is "supposed" to be completely neutral when reporting from where ever they are.

http://www.zombietime.com/reuters_photo_fraud/

if you just look at the first set of photographs you can see the have been manipulated and also when reading further on some are clearly staged photos.

it got me to thinking how many Reuters photographers trained here at PSC


BTW it doesn't just involve the one news agency it involves lots from around the world including the UK and USA

What if it was all done on purpose???
To make people think that everything was just exaggeration.
Nothing unjustified happened???

This all came out about a month and a half ago. The Reuters photographer was since fired. He had taken over 900 photos, with at least 30-35 chopped. So he was booted, and all photos he took were deep-6ed. The same green-helmeted guy was dressed many different ways, in different locations and dead as well. In fact, if you look closely at the bystanders, they are just standing, looking, not particularly anxious to get on with the rescues(?) It seems that one body was removed from the ambulance just to photograph it with this guy. Also notice, some that were removed from the rubble of collapsed buildings had absolutely no dust on them, while others in the pictures do.

I found the story fascinating, so researched it a little.

The sad thing is, when there are some lies, we question all. And, there was loss of life of both sides.
