Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Food for thought

Zombietime has posted an excellent analysis of photojournalistic fraud. The four types he lists are:



  1. Digitally manipulating images after the photographs have been taken.

  2. Photographing scenes staged by Hezbollah and presenting the images as if they were of authentic spontaneous news events.

  3. Photographers themselves staging scenes or moving objects, and presenting photos of the set-ups as if they were naturally occurring.

  4. Giving false or misleading captions to otherwise real photos that were taken at a different time or place.



Be sure to check the original article out, it's definitely worth a read.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
