Newspaper Uses Photoshop To Make Syria Look Even Worse Somehow
http://gizmodo.com/5929952/newspaper...13436768339753

"The Kronen Zeitung is Austria's largest newspaper, with a daily readership of around three million people. Yesterday, those readers were treated to the image on the left of war-torn Aleppo, bombed out and desperate. Except, as one sharp-eyed Redditor points out, that wasn't the scene at all. It was just another Photoshop job.

Just to be clear, the family in the photograph is, in fact, in Syria; the original photo (on the right) came from the European Pressphoto Agency. But merely fleeing a city ravaged by guns and mortars apparently isn't quite dramatic enough on its own. The editors of the Krone—as it's commonly called—needed this baby to sing.

Using Photoshop to make actresses and models look unrealistically attractive is bad enough. Using it to make a part of the world that has enough problems as it is look even more apocalyptic? That's just disgraceful."

"Newly discovered documents show how in 1957 Harold Macmillan and President Dwight Eisenhower approved a CIA-MI6 plan to stage fake border incidents as an excuse for an invasion by Syria's pro-western neighbours, and then to "eliminate" the most influential triumvirate in Damascus. "

"The plan called for funding of a "Free Syria Committee", and the arming of "political factions with paramilitary or other actionist capabilities" within Syria. The CIA and MI6 would instigate internal uprisings, for instance by the Druze in the south, help to free political prisoners held in the Mezze prison, and stir up the Muslim Brotherhood in Damascus. "

"The planners envisaged replacing the Ba'ath/Communist regime with one that was firmly anti-Soviet, but they conceded that this would not be popular and "would probably need to rely first upon repressive measures and arbitrary exercise of power". "

Macmillan backed Syria assassination plot

Of course its not possible that a journalist made a very shitty call, doing something insanely stupid that's he's clearly going to get caught doing. It must be part of a wider conspiracy... not just a couple idiots using horrible judgement to sell newspapers and build readership.

If this was a complete one-off then fair enough, but this unfortunately is the trend :2 cents:

I'm sure its bad over there -- but they're not doing themselves any favors by trying too hard to make it look worse. They must be pretty dumb to think people won't find out.

What's the title say? I see USA in the title.

When newspapers get to the point where they are photo shopping images, they shouldn't be allowed to print newspapers any more.

In that case, there would be no newspapers in the world.

Apart from the very rare and occasional, well publicized instances... can you back that up?

Oh.. you can't?

Shocker.

Those are the same newspapers that are lobbying in the EU for a special tax on internet connections because "people buy less news papers because they read the news online so the EU should subsidize newspapers because newspapers have an important role to play in a democracy".

It's a continuation of the other fake 'news' on Syria and Libya that's already been posted on GFY; these stories have been going on since early on in the Libya conflict. Seems like you've missed all of those prior threads

Watching what is going on via Al Jazeera, not sure why they felt the need.

Busted! :thumbsup

This thread delivers, nice Photoshop work guys!

I'm sorry about the situation and Syria and people that are dying and having hard time there, but those epic pics in this thread made me laugh really hard :)))

that's pretty much what we get here, what's the diff ...

Don't watch the news ever

Bravo! well said
