Reuters Apologizes, But Still In Denial

My first Townhall column is up. I think it makes an important point. Reuters Admits Faking Photos, Still in Denial:

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.

Without the forgeries it would be hard to swallow the notion that the local Arab reporters employed by the larger news organizations were neutral and unbiased in this war. With the forgeries, it is clear that at least some are actually combatants and partisans on the propaganda front.

Read the Rest, and tell a friend about it.
