A master class for news-fakers
Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)  Media & Journalism

Take a look here, all you punk ass photoshop dweebs sending your Lebanon pictures to Reuters, and see how a professional does things!

It may take a minute for the flash 'tutorial' to load when you get to the page.

Brilliant. Great demonstration. That was almost as cool as the news agency being fooled by the shot of a toy soldier. Or my favourite video the "terrorist video game" which was a normal game with the audio from Team America being used on the intro.

Nice to see Al Reuters getting their un-professional butts kicked. Seems the "news" media are always looking to investigate every one else, but the blogoshere is the only one watching them.

..... cool demo!
