Reuter Gate Video

This is an excellent video basically summarizing the list of indictments against the Reuters News Service and at least one of its photographers.




I applaud Reuters for doing what's called a "photo kill" on the first image involving increased smoke. But my question is will they ever consider doing a full investigation into other photos performed by this photographer (Hajj)? I seriously doubt that they will, nor do I think they will consider reforming their editing practices. They got their own shock and awe with their doctored photos and it made for some great press (up until the photoshopping was descovered). So where is the reason for them to reform anything? It doesn't exist.

There should be no doubt remaining that there is just as much bias against Israel in western media as there is in outlets like Al-Manar and Al-Jazeera.
