...ah it is soooo funny watching big name media outlets caught with their pants down...

The NYT must have also forced GeoEye, the source for that second image, to only show B&W images of Beirut on their gallery for their image of the week. The fiends! Their influence knows no bounds!

All the news that’s fit to ‘shop.

45% of British muslims believe the 9/11 attacks on New York were a conspiracy between the United States and Israel...that is scary....

looking closely at the maps, it seems Israel has left the schools, the church, mosque, and hospital, the municipal building, and the marble factory intact. But why the map of Manhattan to compare to?

Again, The REAL photo that started it all:

Oh, of all the maliciously Machiavellian MSM manipulation methods...

What's most incredible is that the average person still places blind faith in these pretentious pretenders to promulgation of unadulterated,raw information...

The politically correct whitewashing of the cold, hard truth is bad enough, but is it possible that the MSM is now engaged in a concerted Photoshopping manipulation campaign to demonize Israel and other Free World nations?

Thanks be to Kate for her sharp eye as to these dirty MSM tricks... which just keep on coming, like jihadist attacks...

what is in the nyt 'runs out of color film' graphic?

I even copied from the 'properties' of the link and opened the page in another browser and got nothing.

technical tip: try it some time, once in a while I have both IE and mozilla running side by side on the same isp, getting every interesting morsel. not this time though ....

Just saw CNN report from Tehran. Their man there claimed the demonstration they were showing was a sign of support for hez-ebola.

It appeared to me that they were there because they were ordered to. I bet they weren't even being paid. Talk about an orderly and unenthusiastic bunch of protesters.

...wait a g.d. minute here... who the hell uses film these days? Film is obsolete in this era of internet communication.

Either the NYT still stupidly uses film, with the extra costs and trouble of development, scanning, etc, or it of course uses digital, which then entails they're screwing around... yet again. I betcha the jihadists won't touch the NYT bldg., as the NYT is pretty much like Al-Jazeera's U.S. branch...

The NYT must be proud of itself, eh?

Hold on a bit, folks.

GeoEye is a fairly recent combination of companies formerly called SpaceImaging and OrbImage. Among other things, the Space Imaging satellite called IKONOS has the ability to simultaneously collect 4m resolution of 4 spectral bands, and 1m resolution panchromaic data, which can be used to make "color" images with finer (pan-sharpened) detail. OrbView-3 has a similar setup, but without the ability to collect both pan and multispectral data at the same time.

What you might be looking at is one pan-sharpened dataset, and a later pan-only, one from each of the satellites. Both have ~20 degrees off-nadir pointing capabilities, so building tops indeed can appear shifted depending on the acquisition lat/lon of each day.
