This is amazing, but there is another fauxtography example today (JAN 29) if you look here.
 

Someone not only photoshopped a guy with a gun into a picture, but they put a cross on the shoulder of his T-Shirt, trying to signify this person was a Christian shooting at the Lebanese Army.  
How stupid do they think we are???

“As one dubious photo after another crept into mainstream coverage of the Israeli Lebanon battles in 2006…”

Although AP writers were told he’s a local civil rescue worker, he became known as Green Helmet Man to bloggers. German TV caught him directing cameramen, loading bodies twice for a more dramatic “shot…” He was “everywhere!”

The man being “dragged from the rubble” was seen later helping in other shots - note the hat tucked under his left arm. You can see more and clearer pictures by clicking on one of the links at the top of this page.

A Reuters photographer altered a photo of Beirut destruction and another of an Israeli jet firing flares. He claimed he only used Photoshop to remove dust marks, but Reuters severed all ties with the photographer and removed all 920 of his photos from its database.
