Reuters Admits Cropping Photos of Ship Clash [photoshopped out knife in assailant's hand]

The British-based Reuters news agency has been stung for the second time by charges that it edited politically sensitive photos in a way that casts Israel in a bad light. But this time Reuters claims it wasn’t at fault.

The news agency reacted to questions raised by an American blogger who showed that Reuters' photo service edited out knives and blood traces from pictures taken aboard the activist ship Mavi Marmara during a clash with Israeli commandos last week. Nine people were killed and scores were injured in the clash.

The pictures of the fight were released by IHH, the Turkish-based group that sponsored the six-ship fleet that tried to break Israel's blockade of Gaza.

In one photo, an Israeli commando is shown lying on the deck of the ship, surrounded by activists. The uncut photo released by IHH shows the hand of an unidentified activist holding a knife. But in the Reuters photo, the hand is visible but the knife has been edited out.

The blog “Little Green Footballs” challenged Reuters' editing of the photo.

Guy, Rothchilds are not Jews they are Edomites, REDSHIELD=Roth-childs, Same as Roosevelts and Rockefellers.

They will make money off both sides of any international conflict and use their resources to build up one side then the other to keep the people rooting for one side or the other.

Marklar you are right there is no point just an interesting couple of photos and when pirates board a peaceful vessel in international waters the passengers should repel boarders with all available means, Knives or boiling oil or steam hoses or whatever they can get their hands on. I am not picking sides just sharing things I find interesting.

Israel would still be the aggressor even if the activist was carrying a flame thrower so what would be the point anyway? News outlets crop photos all the time for aesthetics alone, likely this was the case here.
