Altered War- The Fall-out From The "Doctered" Photos Begins

[time expired]

I dont really think you should condemn jounalists after all they are just doing what jounalists do,like
sharks or lawyers do what they do.This kind of jounalism is what the public want,cheap emotionalism
that is what the vast majority want to read or see,and the media is more than willing to supply it.
The real tradegy is because of our desire to see dead woman and children on our TV screens and our
wish to demonstrate our revultion as a measure of our humanity puts more women and children at
risk because the terrorists are more than willing to put them in harms way and use our humanity as a
weapon against us.In this the media are their best allies.This is nothing new I think it really got started in
Vietnam and continues unabatted.

This video clearly demonstrates that the safest action to take during a bombing campaign is to put on a wedding dress and hide under a pile of plush toys, preferably Disney-related.

The Imperial War Museum holds two official Canadian photographs from the First World War which were posed for propaganda purposes:--
