Reuter's Doctored Photos

Click here for the story, the picture involved an air raid on Beruit I believe. If news companies are changing pictures to make things worse, we know they are trying to get the public angry and make more money. This shows that we cannot even trust some news companies anymore, it is really ridiculous. When I watch or look at a newspaper, I want to know what is going on, and I want to know that the images and information are not fake. The media always seems to make matters much, much worse...

Agree mate, but unfortunately, the media ( Live news & newspapers ) want scenes that will attract viewers / readers, so that they get their ratings up, they are not really bothered about the truth
