Staged and/or Edited Photos in the Media.

its satire against the media. this all seems so prearranged.
the end result is that the media as a whole is discredited and to spite propaganda,
we the masses will bleet "DOWN WITH THE MEDIA" and demand fair and balanced government coverage of events.

Well the media has never been fair or balanced... so things like this will keep happening until they get their act together...

pay special notice to the smouldering skyline before and after pictures. yes, i know it is a completely bias site, and not one that reflects my opinions much, but you know what they say about a broken clock and these photos were used in major media outlets.

now for those who dont know photoshop, there is whats called a cloning brush and it basically samples a preset radius of any point on the photo and repeats it as a pattern. the proper way to pull this effect off is a random pattern, since in the end you wont notice a repeat patten. --anyway this shit is textbook for anyone who has working knowledge of the program.

where am i going with this? the photo was so blatantly fudged that i suspect a willingness to be caught. i call sabotage within the system. to the core of my logic, i cannot find any loophole were such a blatantly altered photo could make to broadcast on a major media outlet.

am i crazy? perhaps. but either way, its clear that the media is altering photos biasly and making them part or even all fiction.

discuss

err welcome to the mainstream media..where truth is slaugtered all the time.

seriously..does thsi surprise you?

One has to wonder what motivates certain people to do a bad doctoring job, and then pass it off as real, when they have to know that the truth will come out, and quickly.

at least someone had the attention span to read my point. thank you.

It's funny. The Bulletin, a current affairs and politics magazine from Australia (one of the good ones) has a chap, proudly conservative, who does a column (there are others who have columns from other parts of the political spectrum.) Anyway he dedicated a whole column to mocking liberals, and liberal media sources and so on over that one photo - how the left feels the need to use doctored material to make points etc.

Maybe there is indeed sabotage going on. The chap who first used to in Australian media didn't make it, simply procured it through normal means when it comes to journalism. One has to wonder what motivates certain people to do a bad doctoring job, and then pass it off as real, when they have to know that the truth will come out, and quickly.

They realize that most likely than not the truth will come out; but by that time the damage has been done and people will believe a lie if it flows along with their beliefs.

Or inversely it will act to invalidate a certain line, stance, as once a lie is discovered it can tend to damage a line, even if it is only a single lie or falsity amongst actual, relevant and reasonably accurate information. The proverbial "tarred with the same brush" problem.
