We have had 5 page threads on lots of cable or news companies. Here's examples.

CBS's Dan Rather report where he had some modern copy of orders where George W. Bush missed his training. Remember that whole deal? The story BECAME about the letters on the document being from a modern device rather than a period typewriter (even though the woman said that the type of preferential treatment reported WAS accurate, it was overshadowed by the fake document story).

Then there are the times that FOX was shown to be using doctored images and videos to hype up the number of attendees at various tea party and other rallies.

Also the time(s) the Bush white house used Photoshop to add soldiers into photograph(s) (it was more than once I think? Don't remember. Lets say once where soldiers were repeated in a crowd image)

There was also the TIME magazine (I think) photographs where they were shown to be doctoring images by placing childrens toys in war torn rubble for greater effect, right?

So MSNBC is also among the ranks who doctored a story for a net effect of zero or less on the story, and negative a million on their credibility.

The horse is dead, Jim.
