Photography is one of my hobbies, and I am very familiar with how photographs
can be doctored to eliminate unwanted elements. One of the key principles of
good photography, by the way, is to eliminate everything from the photograph
which distracts from the main focus. Newspapers are using such techniques to
distort the news.
The New York Times and the San Francisco
Chronicle were both caught lying with pictures recently.
The Old Grey Lady, the Newspaper of Record, has determined that it it now prints
all the lies it can fit in print instead of “all the news that’s fit to
print.” A recent photo of the bombing site on the Pakistani border, the one
which destroyed three houses in Damadola, was clearly staged with pieces of
weaponry brought in for the photo op. This photo has been analyzed by military
and weapons experts and the staged nature of the photos delineated in the
article cited below.
And then there was the recent anti-war protest in San Francisco, wherein a photo
of a young black girl was presented as indicating that black students were
spontaneously rallying against war in general.
But this also was photographic lying, as other photos taken at the rally
indicated. First, the students were being organized and led by adults. Second,
the adult’s dress suggested that the rally leadership was communist. Third,
the rally was more a protest against George W. Bush and the war on terror than
against war in general. It was not specifically a pro peace rally, as the
“youths” were dressed in garb resembling terrorists and fighters themselves
rather than peaceful demonstrators.
It is hypocritical for newspapers who make unsubstantiated charges that George
Bush lied about reasons for war in Iraq to use photographs to lie about bomb
damage and peace rallies.
