Fox News airs apparently altered photos

Fox News airs apparently altered photos

Quote:
NEW YORK -- The Fox News channel gained wide attention Thursday in the blogosphere for airing photos of two New York Times staffers that appear to have been doctored to portray them in an unflattering light.

The photos depict New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg with yellowed teeth, "his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further," according to a statement Thursday by Media Matters for America. The other image, of Times television editor Steven Reddicliffe, with similar yellow teeth, as well as "dark circles ... under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back," according to the Media Matters statement.
Just thought I'd post this story for all of you out there who can't recognize that Fox news has credibility issues. The same goes for MSNBC, but often times its a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

They should fire the people in their graphics department. Not for what they did but for the ****ty job they did.

Given the actual photos, there was no need for an real photo changes. The originals already look like they've had their color and light levels modified for proper printing. Therefore the comparison to me suggests that FOX deliberated altered to make their opposition look bad. How you think that is acceptable, well, that's for you to explain. Sure it's not the worse FOX has done, but it isn't excusable.
