The rift between the mainstream media and blogosphere just grew larger as Google News, as of 8;15AM Sunday, has NO COVERAGE from the MSM on the developing Reuters photoshop story, which is all over the blogs.
Pajamas Media will be covering this story throughout the day. Someone with more time should now re-examine the photos from “Qana.” Of course, EUReferendum has already done a brilliant job – but there is certainly more. At this link, Pajamas has a guide to where to locate the extensive photo library of the Photoshopper Adnan Hajj.
UPDATE: Jawa Report already has done some interesting work. Pajamas Media is looking for a Photoshop expert to do a podcast interview. If you are or know one, please contatct me through this site. We are also interested in inside information on the hiring practices of Reuters and other news agencies.

1. Pooh:LGF appears to be down. Not surprising really.
Aug 6, 2006 - 8:22 am 2. CraigC:And Reuters has issued a “correction.” But, you know, nothing to see, move along…..
Aug 6, 2006 - 8:23 am 3. Godzilla:Roger, you’re thinking in terms of internet time. My bet is that the story will be mentioned either Monday or Tuesday, probably by Brit Hume.
Aug 6, 2006 - 8:25 am 4. Pooh:A stripped-down LGF is back up.
Aug 6, 2006 - 8:30 am 5. Richard Nieporent:As you are aware by now, Reuters has pulled the photo. First CBS and now Reuters. Score another one for Charles!
Aug 6, 2006 - 8:59 am 6. Terrye:What a bunch of morons. I mean really, didn’t they think anyone would notice?

It points out at least a couple problems.
1. They didn’t notice it themselves, and
2. Even if they did notice it, they probably thought to themselves, “What can the peasants do about it, write a letter to the editor?”
Now they know, and so do we. The MSM is the Emperor with their new clothes. It’s people like Charles that point out that they’re really naked and have been for quite some time. And you know the MSM doesn’t like it one little bit. Too bad, chumps. You need us a lot more than we need you.

Lazy and stupid is a bad combination. Add arrogance and hubris and you have al-Reuters. Charles outing these quislings is the best news since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
