More al-Reuters fauxtography and disinformation? Shocking! /sarc

I'd be surprised if it were otherwise with this decidedly leftist European MSM organization. As noted in some comments at Pajamas Media, al-Reuters was smart enough to create in their disinformation captions the smidgen of plausible deniability needed in their anti-Semitic and militarily ignorant main market in EUrope.

Well curdle my ice-cream cone...

first it was Jesus on toast, now it's "False Profit" written in the sky in Arabic.

Its the flares they're on about? I thought it spelled something rude in Arabic.

How disappointing.

Some guys in the art dept where I work and I were picking out the obvious PhotoShop artifacts in the Monday, Jan 5th cover photo of the Globe and Mail, (I ran a photo studio for several years and know a few dirty image tricks myself). I wrote the paper about it, but naturally received no reply. The photographer credited on the image has been in hot water before.

I think it may say "part your cheeks" in arabic

I often wonder who is dim enough to read and accept news wire plant pieces...apart from news wire copy being the laziest type of news copy for a broadsheet to publish it has been proven again and again to be the most inaccurate.

Why do MSM editors still subscribe to these defective substandard wire service new products...must be sheer journalistic/editorial lethargy ...wonder if Miller will teach a course in that next semester?

cal2 when you interpolate by guess you have to read between the lines.
It actually says.

Bend over and grab your ankles.

This action will automatically spread your cheeks

Tony and Cal2, I was hoping for something like "Yore momma wears army boots", or "Yasser Arafat sleeps with the fishes".

You know, something good. ~:D

However, since its just flares the real meaning is "nyah nyah, you missed me!!!"

Posted by: The Phantom at January 7, 2009 12:17 PM

You guys are all wrong. Those are missiles. 'Cause the media said so. You know, those new slow moving trick missiles, designed to look like flares.
Not unlike the trick missiles that Hamas never fired into Israel that weren't built in a university compound.

I was going to link to a post that Reuters had posted of mine but it seems they were all deleted since the last one was posted in early December.

It was there then it went away....

There goes what's left of my credibility.
LOL,

Oh this is good news, according to those smoke signals Burger King is bringing back their "Allah in an I Scream", with and without nuts. TM

You are all wrong, those are new missiles designed by a progressive enlightened leftist,

they do an "interpretive dance" with smoke trails before they hit their target!!!

Ever since the UN sponsored ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, I look a t all photos with a skeptical tilt to my eyebrows.

Posted by: RW at January 7, 2009 8:10 PM

yeah they are just flyin' back and forth at ground attack level and dropping flares 'cause those flares are pretty. actually, you dive, drop your ordinance and then drop flares as you pull out. standard procedure when you think you might take ground fire. so...one goes with the other. technically correct to say "just having dropped weapons " because they have you can bet, just done that very thing.

Posted by: harumph at January 8, 2009 3:34 AM

harumph, the IAF drop flares the whole time they are over Gaza airspace, dropping ordinance or not.

I take it you haven't seen the videos of them doing that, eh?
