Reuters Doctoring Photos From Tatooine
Before he was assigned to cover the Hezbollah-Israeli Conflict in Beirut by Reuters, it turns out that Adnan Hajj had been given another assignment long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.
That’s right. He had been assigned to cover Jabba the Hutt’s palace on Tatooine.
Even though his word was masterful and captivating, Tatooine was outside of The Republic, so he didn’t qualify for Pulitzer Prize nomination. Still, he received much praise for his undercover work in the Mos Eisley Cantina exploring Greedo’s Jewish roots.
Everything was going great for him, until…
According to his personnel file at the Mos Eisley Bureau, Hajj was sent back to the office by Hutt frozen in carbonite, thawed out, and returned to Reuters Headquarters for reassignment.
Frank J. Doctoring Photos from Disney World?
OK, now things are getting weird.
Frank J.’s Disney World photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image. (Hat tip: LGF.)
It’s so incredibly obvious, it reminds me of the faked CBS memos. Smoke simply does not contain repeating symmetrical patterns like this, and you can see the repetition in both plumes of smoke. There’s really no question about it.
But it’s not only the plumes of smoke that were “enhanced.” There are also cloned buildings. (See below.)
Verdict: obvious fraud.
UPDATE at 8/6/06 12:11:am:
IMPORTANT!
The original for this faked photo has been discovered. And it was taken on July 26, 2006. (Hat tip: Spacemonkey, who took the picture on a night out on the town with Frank J.)
