Reuters : Don't DARE Question Their Veracity

The MSM is all offended that we, mere bloggers, would dare question the veracity of the professionally-produced images coming from Lebanon. How terribly cheeky of us! What could we know, after all, about what's going on in Lebanon? How could we possibly evaluate the quality of the reporting in Lebanon from the air-conditioned comfort of our offices? It's tough, to be sure, but I imagine we'll keep it up. After all, I'm sure we all remember these recent classics, all of which were either staged or photoshopped events:
