Reuters caught cheating

I almost decided not to blog about this, because it’s getting attention everywhere, and then I thought, well, just in case you haven’t been everywhere first: Thanks to Charles Johnson’s tireless efforts, another false document has been exposed — this time a doctored Reutered photograph purporting to show Israeli missile strikes in Beirut. Reuters pulled the photo, and the photographer offered the imaginative excuse that his finger hit the Photoshop key by mistake.

UPDATE: As of 5:20 p.s.t., the New York Times, with all the news that’s fit to print, doesn’t have a word about this story. Maybe tomorrow? Or maybe not….
