More links to media hijinx...

Is Adnan Hajj 2 people, or is has he sold photos under more than 1 name? @ The Jawa report

Mr Green Helmut in action with "This Ones Alive" @ Pajamas Media

Same Building, destroyed twice @ PowerLine

Bridge Hit, damaged car appears, people run over bridge, but bridge is gone, damaged car now someplace else @ PowerLine

More Adnan Haff photo editing @ Jawa Report

Hezbollywood - What really happened at Qana? @ OpEd News

Hezbollywood 2 - The Directors Cut @ EU Referndum



There are many great blogs out there talking about these items, so I'll stop with the links - if you want to find more, try Google

But, back to the issues:
  1. Hezbollah and / or it's supporters photo-shopping photos to make them look worse
  2. Hezbollah and / or it's supporters are clearly staging events
  3. Hezbollah is controlling media access in southern Lebanon and Beirut
  4. Major news services are *NOT* using any independent fact checking, or even the basic review of photos their using, in the rush to get the news out
  5. Major news services feel they have *NO* responsibility to go back and admit their mistakes, fraud, or the less sensational truth when it comes out.
