Malkin’s all over this developing story, and YNet News has details and photos, and points to another possible photo manipulation, this time by using two different photos of what appears to be the same timeframe in Beirut and describing them both as being from different timeframes and thus supposedly two ‘different’ Israeli attacks.

As Drudge would say, developing ….

  1. ReutersGate Reloaded: The Adnan Hajj Story

    Reuters did not discover these problems. Bloggers did. It was bloggers that found clear discrepancies in these photos and photo editing, not Reuters supposed tight editorial controls. Reuters better launch an investigation into its editorial control …

  2. EXCLUSIVE: Another BIG Reuters / Adnan Hajj Scandal Busted

    I was turned on to yet another Hajj scandal by reader Michelle, and have dug a little deeper to add to it. Obviously Hajj is officially discredited so the piling on isn’t necessary, but the point still remains that Reuters…

  3. PHOTOS: “Green Helmet’s” Friend “White T-Shirt” A Hizbollah Fighter?

    This is one I’ll leave for readers and especially photo experts to decide on their own, but reader Michelle wonders if the man known as “White T-Shirt” (yeah, “Green Helmet’s Qana pal), is actually the same man as a Hizbollah…

  1. They HAVE fired this jerk, haven’t they?

  2. Marshall - Yes. A few hours after Reuters announced he was “suspended”, they announced they would no longer purchase his photo’s. they also went to great lengths to mention he was not a staff photog, but freelance. Of course there’s nothing to prevent them from buying from him in the future under a pseudonym. So it’s really a lot of smoke and noise. they still havn’t admited any culpability, which is hanging out there like a Dan Rather moment.

    - They’ve also basically dodged the fact that the reposted 2nd version, supposidly the original was also photoshopped, which they handled by just yanking it with no comments. The faact that as of now, none of the staff photo review people have been even mentioned, let along cut free, pretty well indicates they were allowing direct feeds with no editorial oversite, which is even more damning, but you won’t ever get them to admit that without a gun to their heads.

    - Bang **==
