Richard at EU Referendum (warning: graphic pictures at the link) has an interesting analysis of photos taken by journalists at the site of the building collapse in Qana, the nature of which has already come into question. It would seem as though, if one studies the timeline of the pictures and those pictured in them, the bodies from the building were carried about and displayed for photographers...a fairly blatant act of anti-Israel propaganda that was apparently eaten up whole without any questions from the journalists.
Whatever else, the event in Qana was a human tragedy. But the photographs do not show it honestly. Rather, they have been staged for effect, exploiting the victims in an unwholesome manner. In so doing, they are no longer news photographs - they are propaganda. And, whoever said the camera cannot lie forgot that photographers can and do. Those lies have spread throughout the world by now and will be in this morning's newspapers, accepted as real by the millions who view them.

Why is it that you wacky wingnuts always seem to provide nothing but somebody else's opinion, and attempt to pass it off as "news?" You do recognize the difference, don't you?
Seriously, Rob, you need to come up for air once in a while. You're clearly unhinged.
It's a blog site, infused with subjective opinion. Hardly what one would confuse with legitimate, objective reporting. It proves nothing, except that the blogger has an opinion, and is able to use Al Gore's internet to publish and distribute it.
Again, weren't you wingnuts doing the same thing with regard to numerous photos and reports coming from Iraq? In fact, if Iraq hadn't mysteriously vanished from the planet altogether a couple weeks ago, you'd probably STILL be doing this.
Remember the glorious hooplah over the upending of the Saddam statue? Remember how you wingnuts all wet yourselves over the "mass attendence" and the fact that the "people were so happy for us to be there that they tore down this statue in celebration?" Remember how you used that photo as a way to somehow justify your illegal invasion?
And, what did we learn later on? We learned that the photo was completely fake, there were only a tiny handful of people in attendence, and it was US Marines who downed the statue. I rest my case. This blogsite proves nothing beyond the fact that the blogger has an opinion and a place to publish it.
