As a journalist, I wonder if the good Simone Moore and Russ Kick bothered to even contact the Evening Standard prior to posting the alleged doctored photo to see what the newspaper in question had to say.
At this point in time, I am aware of *one* instance in Western media where a photo was manipulated and published. The photo and manipulation was done by a photographer for the Los Angeles Times. The photographer submitted the manipulated photo to his unknowing editors, who didn't discover his trickery until *after* the photo had run.
The photographer basically took parts of two photographs and, using Photoshop (or similar software), combined certain elements from each photo into a single photo, which then was published. It wasn't even a major change done by the photog — he basically shifted a smiling soldier closer to a smiling child and manipulated the angle slightly.
The end result? The photographer was immediately *fired* from his position and is now BLACKLISTED by reputable news organizations in print, television and the Internet. IOW, people, this man will *never* again hold a job as photojournalist, all because of a moment of idiocy on his part.
The moral of the story? Don't f*ck with the photos, and don't f*ck with the news copy, because when we find out, we will terminate your journalism career.
Journalists can take care of their own malcontents w/o the "assistance" of such Internet sites as The Memory Hole.

Indeed. I wonder how, exactly, the New York Times stuffed up that famous "policeman in front of bleeding Israeli" photo...that isn't stupid, that's crossing the line from stupidity to utter lieing.

Your posts are looking a little less extreme.....And it's beginning to encourage me to step out of my "extreme left wing communist" stance.
