| All I have to say to that is, Jesus Christ. I had read previous articles about how Hezbollah staged ridiculous shit for Western journalists, but getting doctored / staged photos out into the mainstream and accepted as 'real' reporting is just bullshit. I never saw anything quite like that before. The same woman wailing over multiple wrecked houses in multiple villages! Hah. Anyone who reads/watches the news has been saturated with images of grieving Arabs and bombed out buildings since we invaded Iraq; it is easy to miss shit like that when we see dozens and dozens of such people each week. It is truly disturbing how a mickey like that slipped by the world, pretty much.
Basically, fake/staged photos changed the whole course of what just happened over there by altering opinion on a global scale - seriously fucked up. |
