A manipulated photo from Reuters was reported on by Charles Johnson, one of those that helped to bring down Dan Rather by exposing the fake CBS memos.
"This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image. (Hat tip: Mike.)
"It’s so incredibly obvious, it reminds me of the faked CBS memos. Smoke simply does not contain repeating symmetrical patterns like this, and you can see the repetition in both plumes of smoke. There’s really no question about it.
"But it’s not only the plumes of smoke that were “enhanced.” There are also cloned buildings."
With the stakes so high, this is something that cannot be tolerated. It does force the question to mind of how much of this is done with people that actually have the talent to hide things much better.
Pictures tell a story and says things that print can't. That makes it even worse to me that this type of manipulation is being offered to the public.
