*CAUGHT* (REUTERS) FAKE Photographs from Georgian conflict

Ministry of Propaganda at work, Reuters Photoshop team.
"Credible News sources"

This photo was first published by the Reuters as an image of a "dead woman being carried by the Georgian soldiers from the town of Gori". But this "dead woman", incredibly, is clutching the nurse's arm.

an exhibiting rage and grief happens to sit in the exact same place where the earlier picture was taken: the same pile of garbage is behind his back and scraps of metal from the picture of a "dead" woman being 'rescued' are lying around like in the earlier photo -- plus some, additional, unidentified scraps of metal. What are these supposed to represent?

Idiom is a typo. It was suppose to be idiot.

This has happened many times before and will happen many times again.
Remember when Saddam ordered the babies in the incubators to be thrown on the cold floor in the first Gulf War? That was used to stir up hatred of the enemy then shortly after proven to be a propaganda move, but everyone still believes the lie and forgets the retraction. I forget the PR firm they hired back then, Carlisle maybe?, that did all these stunts.
You are being lied to every day in everything thing you read and see from the media.

I am a Photoshop user and man that is freakin' clearly staged photos..... pretty sad they have those kind of liars in the media.... but hey this exactly why we are all here isn't it.

Great find, i for one never believed the original story, Georgia is clearly a puppet state controlled by Dick & Bush, I give credit to Russia and i hope they stand up to NATO, EU & BUSH, they could have taken over Georgia and no one in the world could have done anything about it. I dare Bush to get in the ring with Putin

This should go viral.

 

[rpfan2008]

It was featured in antiwar.com .

Well, it may go viral but I think it's already in digg .

Gah. I hadn't seen these, thanks for posting. It's amazing that our media will just work with the Georgians to produce outright lies. I know they're corrupted and worse than bad, but things like this still manage to amaze me. I guess you just can't put anything past them now.

Russia needs to find KAKAshvili and hang him like they did Saddam

They look so fake when everything is pointed out. Pretty scary.

I think the second picture set was just taken with different lenses, which gives a weird perspective. Either that or they moved the curb in the front of the picture too, because in both pics the body is right in front of a curb.

I think it's just the glare from the sun distorting the perception of distance and time. Shit, the Serbian images were also staged?!

Notice the pants on the but, the riped shirt and the leaf with fruit under that rip as well as the leafage around him. As a professional photographer myself i don't believe the body was moved, it is take from a different angle with a high power lens, notice the curb on the back of the body on both shots. Hard to say about this one but the first pics wore clearly acted

 

[syborius]

anyone for some "wag the dog"

amazing catch, when I was observing those pictures, only a day after Russia went into Georgia they did strike me as odd, I couldn't quite put a finger on it, and this certainly sheds light on why I felt that way.

The first set was posted on a blog by a sharp eyed pundit on the 12th of August....

Here is the third one...

They were posted by Reuters seperately and passed off ans being seperate.

There was a boatload more going on too. My you weren't off watching the olympics while a War was on were you???

Its okay, so was someone else:

The second set there is just two different lenses of the same scene. First is Zoom second is wide angle. Woman is still posing though.

I'd love to see a professional photographer recreate those inconsistencies. It looks staged to me and the proportions and positioning don't look right to be real.
