More Fauxtography In Lebanon
This time starring "the unluckiest woman in Beirut."
Read the whole thing.
I'd say that this is unbelievable, but given what has come to light over the last few days it is very believable. Reuters, the Associated Press and others have all but been complicit in a Hezbollah propaganda operation aimed at generating sympathy for their cause and ire against the Israelis.
These people should be ashamed of themselves.
A woman has made two appearances in photographs used by the Associated Press and Reuters, allegedly wailing over the destruction of her Beirut home. US bloggers have however noticed that photographs were taken two weeks apart from each other, according to times stamps on the images, and that the photographs were taken in different locations.
"Either this woman is the unluckiest multiple home owner in Beirut, or something isn't quite right," noted the author of the Drinking From Home blog.
In the first photograph , taken by Reuters, a woman is seen in front of a bombed out building in Beirut. "A Lebanese woman wails after looking at the wreckage of her apartment, in a building, that was demolished by the Israeli attacks in southern Beirut," Reuters said in its caption. The photo was dated July 22 2006.
A second photograph of a woman who looks exactly like the woman in the first Reuters image, even bearing the same scar on her left cheek, is then supplied by the Associated Press.
