Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo
bewert writes "A sign of things to come? Is this kind of thing happening without anyone catching it? This short article notes that war photog Brian Walski was fired for combining elements from two photos to make one with 'better composition'.
Here is the 'Editor's Note' detailing the transgression. It's not really highlighted on their front page ;) I wonder how often this type of Photoshopping is done without anyone noticing it? To paraphrase Pink Floyd, "Mother, should I trust the government?"..." Another submitter points out an article examining digitally altered magazine covers. Slashdot has done several stories on unnoticeable digital alterations; here's 1, 2, 3 old stories to peruse.
Umm, what does this have to do with anything?
A private citizen behaving unethically for a private company. Hell, the troops he photographed weren't even US troops! (assuming of course that you speak of the US government)
And to answer the question: no, but only because all people are capable of deceit.
You have no idea what you are talking about, just shut up.

This just continues to prove his point - the Times is unremarkibly against this war and America, comparing the patriots of the revolution to Saddam's martyrs.
of course if you go to this page and scroll down to "Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo" there is also a link to the pictures, which requires no registration.
Go fuck yourself.

It amazes me how people "pick" on fox news.
I could care less where someone gets their news.
I prefer Fox over the ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN, because at least fox will put both sides on to argue their points, and not SLANT the news to the right as much as the left will SLANT the news to their extent.
I've been conservative all my life. I believe that if someone does something illegal, they should be PUNISHED, not "forgiven"....
When this country finally gets over it's "politically correct" era, we'll be better off.
I could care less the color of a persons skin, or where they come from. If you want to come to this country, do a couple of things. ONE: move here LEGALLY, not sneaking in under the boarder etc...
TWO: Learn or get an understanding of ENGLISH!
We speak english here in America. When I come to your country, I would not expect that everything be printed or spoke in my language, so don't expect it here.
