HERE’S ANOTHER SURPRISE

In the rush to make something anti-West (at best) and anti-Bush (at worst) or pro-murderers (the real agenda), Reuters, an otherwise relatively respectable and impartial (certainly more so than any US papers left OR right) organization, let some of its left-wing politics show when it bought pictures from a long-time stringer that were altered via Photoshop to make an explosion look worse that it was.

Add to that the revelation that the same woman appears in photos wailing over something that appeared in both AP and Reuters. So what? Supposedly the wailing was over the dead in separate towns and the incidents were two weeks apart. Of course, the NYT, LAT, etc., are all bemoaning the fact and tsk-tsking their brains out, but I guaran-gah-damn-tee you that they got suckered as well; if not on these on plenty of others.

The press: the way they get away with everything is that if it’s published or shown on television, well, then, by gosh, by golly, it must be true.

Don’t fall prey to these inept, officious, arrogant fools. They have an agenda and are trying to foist it on to you.
