First Cup Well, let’s have some coffee and then take a swim. ~ Johnny Weissmuller

Blue Crab Boulevard Kos And Effect — “So, after much uproar, after all the storm and fury after all the money, time and talent spent the Kos Kids have their very first scalp.

And the scalp belonged to a Democrat.”

GOP Bloggers (Mark Noonan) The Divided Democrats — “In order to win, Democrats will have to come up with a unified message – the vote in Connecticut today indicates that this is an impossible task. The Democrats disagree on the future of their Party, and with the left of the Party taking ever more extreme positions, no agreement on such a future is possible.”

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Lieberman Vows To Run In November — “An outright Lieberman victory or a real butt-kicking by Lamont would have settled Connecticut, allowing the party and the media to focus on other, more important races. No one seriously thinks that Alan Schlesinger will win Lieberman’s seat for the GOP in November, after all, and Democratic energy will get wasted in a three-way race. Yet that’s exactly what Democrats face, and the media will be only too happy to follow this race and the split it will generate in the ranks of party leadership and big-money donors.”

The Jawa Report (Dr. Rusty Shackleford) Reuters Apologizes, But Still In Denial [From his first Town Hall column] — “Without the two forgeries it would be tempting to characterize the reporters at these staged events as victims of Hezbollah censorship. With the forgeries, it is now clear that many of these reporters are participants in a Hezbollah propaganda campaign against Israel.”

My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (Beth) “Fauxtography” — “Don’t forget, it is not just about photoshopping, but CONTEXT. Staging and false captions/stories are crucial. There’s far more contextual issues at play then there are instances of photoshopped photos, and most photoshoppers won’t be as clumsy as Adnan Hajj was.”

    links from Technorati Rusty has a column in Townhall today about the Reuters “fauxtography.” It’s a must-read. Also, Mary Katherine Ham has a good example of context and photo staging in a picture of (big surprise) Cindy Sheehan bRight & Early linked with First Cup 08.09.06 Iowa Voice linked with More Staging Of The News Posted by: Beth @ 1:36 am Posted In: General, Blogs, Journalism?, Israel, Fauxtography, Lebanon Comments & Trackbacks (3) | Permalink | MAIN
