"Thanks to the Israeli reader who alerts us to YnetNews.com's update on the Reuters photo alteration that we noted in "Reuters calls the doctor" last night: "Reuters admits altering Beirut photo." As John noted last night, the photographer whom Reuters credited on the photo is the same man who shot some of the famous propaganda images from Qana. Reader William Katz writes:
The key questions: What else has been faked? What else has been manipulated? Who are the people hired by Western news agencies to report from Lebanon? What are their backgrounds? It's time to look even more carefully at Qana."
