Raw Deal for Hajj
We know something about PhotoShop too.

GIVE HAJJ HIS OWN TV SHOW. Conservative blogs like Little Green Footballs and Michelle Malkin seem to think that Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj was trying to make Israel look bad with his inexpert PhotoShop work. Our own analysis suggests that Hajj's big mistake was not PhotoShopping enough. According to the Reuters statement about the matter:
Hajj... told Reuters on Sunday that the
image of the Israeli air strike on Beirut had dust marks which he had
wanted to remove.
We did what the MSM editors probably did and what the right-wingers can never do: we gave Hajj the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was innocent until proven guilty. To this end we proceeded, via PhotoShop, to fade out even more of the dust marks that initially caused Hajj to edit the picture. When the image was finally dust free, lo and behold, even worse Israeli malefactions were suddenly brought to light. Apparently the photographer's error was that he didn't go far enough with his editing.
Now, thank heaven, the whole world can see the demonic nature of Israel's asault on Beirut. And they can see that Hajj is innocent. Reuters should be pretty darned relieved that they can put him back to work in the field where he belongs, fighting for truth, justice, and the annihilation of Zionism. Al ali akbar and all that.
We'd ask LGF, Malkin, et al for an apology, but it probably won't be forthcoming. You know how right-wing conspiracies are. Evil. Evil and stubborn.
Maybe Reuters will give us some credit for our discovery. Should we hold our breath?
