Reuters come over all righteous. LGF not so green.
What a coup the Adnan Hajj affair has been for the alternative media. LGF and Power Line have emerged as winners, and LGF has had to put up an apology to readers for its difficulty in handling the increased traffic. While they were no doubt motivated merely by a pro-Bush-Israel agenda, they nevertheless struck another blow for journalistic integrity. The pity is that the real lack of integrity in the liberal media only interests majority rightists, to which estate neither LGF nor Power Line aspire.
Still, it’s been fun to see Reuters snap to attention and the The Guardian drone on about proportionate representation of the facts. As if.

How is it a blow for “journalistic integrity”? There are thousands of authentic photos showing dead Lebanese civilians and destroyed infrastructure - what would darkening some smoke on a photograph prove? Either someone at Reuters is trying to destroy this guy’s career or he made a colossal blunder while trying to remove a smudge from his photo (which is what he claims, evidently). Whatever the case, it’s another propaganda victory for Israeli domination of world media.
