The deception continues

Reuters has pulled numerous photos they ran when American bloggers pointed out that they'd been obviously doctored or mislabeled. One picture of Beirut had extra smoke added to increase the perceived damage. Another picture of an Israeli jet launching a defensive flare had multiple copies of that flare and a label saying that the flares were missiles.

Then there's the staged photo ops bloggers have pointed out relating to a picture of a man holding an allegedly wounded/killed child. Multiple versions of the picture have been found, with a timestamp difference of several hours. The same man is holding the same girl in each, but in different places.
