They’ve removed all the images taken by Hajj:<\/p>\n

Reuters has withdrawn a second photograph and admitted that the image was doctored, following the emergence of new suspicions against images provided by the news organization. On Sunday, Reuters admitted that one of its photographers, Adnan Hajj, used software to distort an image of smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut in order to create the effect of more smoke and damage.
\n[…]
\nReuters conceded that a second image it provided had been manipulated, and released a statement saying it had recalled all photos by Hajj. “Reuters has withdrawn from its database all photographs taken by Beirut-based freelance Adnan Hajj after establishing that he had altered two images since the start of the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese Hizbullah group,” the statement said.
\nThe news outlet said that it discovered “in the last 24 hours that he (Hajj) altered two photographs since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hizbullah,” Reuters added.
\n“There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image”, Reuters’ statement quoted Tom Szlukovenyi, Reuters Global Picture Editor, as saying.
\nReuters also said it would apply “tighter editing procedure for images of the Middle East conflict to ensure that no photograph from the region would be transmitted to subscribers without review by the most senior editor on the Reuters Global Pictures Desk.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go read the rest here<\/a> for the details on the discovery of other doctored photos.
\nThis photographer isn’t the only one who should be fired. Those pictures are so obviously doctored, where were the editors? Why didn’t they catch it? Very shoddy work and they should be fired because of it. The damage that has been done to this news organization is pretty bad. Even if you knew you couldn’t trust the reporting at least you could trust the images, now you can’t even trust that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
