Reuters admits altering Beirut photo

Ynetnews
Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out 'blatant evidence of manipulation.' Reuters' head of PR says in response, 'Reuters has suspended photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to photograph.' Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged.

A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web logs. The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage. More.

Jihad Watch asks, "Has Reuters now fully committed itself to being an arm of the Hizballah propaganda machine?"

Who's commenting on this? Many folks, including Little Green Footballs, Captain’s Quarters, & Power Line.
