Photoshop Update: Iran Has Invisible Missiles
AGENCE France-Presse says it obtained the image of four Iranian missiles punching the sky from the Web site of Sepah News, the media wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
That was Wednesday.
Today the Associated Press distributed the same image without the fourth missile.
Inded, the Iranains have invisible missiles – Israel is fu**ked…

Photoshopping A Tornado
AFTER this. The Associated Press admits they were bamboozled by some bogus tornado video.
The Associated Press and video services operated by CBS and NBC have pulled video allegedly taken of a tornado in Nebraska last weekend after questions were raised about its authenticity.
A tornado chaser has claimed that the video was a doctored version of pictures he had taken of a twister that touched down four years ago in Rock, Kan.
The AP paid another storm chaser, Andy Fabel, $295 for footage of a tornado that briefly touched down Saturday afternoon near Valentine, Neb. The video was sent Sunday to nearly 2,000 Web sites that subscribe to the AP’s Online Video Network, and more than 60 large digital customers that buy AP’s online content individually.
Yet on Tuesday, a person who asked that his name not be used contacted the AP and said the supposed Nebraska footage was really video he had taken four years ago. The image was “flipped” to make it seem the tornado was pointed in another direction, and the action sped up. The Nebraska images add power lines and subtracts trees that were in the Kansas pictures.
Upon seeing the video evidence, the AP eliminated Fabel’s video from the Online Video Network late Tuesday and contacted its other customers to urge them not to use it, said Kevin Roach, the AP’s acting head of domestic broadcast news operations.
“We never want to mislead people,” Roach said. “Based on evidence provided to us, we believe that the video was not authentic.”
Mistakers in reporting. Tsk! Heads will roll… or not…

Iran Missile Photoshop Contest
IRAN unleashes its missiles. The Salami Air Force is primed for an attack on Israel’s digestive heartlands.
The US and Israel have condemned Iran after it test-fired a long range missile capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
Iran state media said nine missiles had been fired in total, including a new Shahab-3, with a range of 2,000km (1,240 miles).
But look again at those missiles zooming off into the air. Have we seen them before?
Those AFP/Gerry images in full.

The Zhou Tiger: Faking Wildlife In China
IN China the big news is the “Zhou Tiger”, named in honour of Zhou Zhenglong, a villager in Shaanxi who claimed to have taken 71 photographs of the almost extinct South China tiger.
He received 20,000 yuan from the local forestry department for his “discovery”. Zhou also photographed a tiger’s footprint.
Who dares say China is an enemy to wildlife? The state-owned news and propaganda agency Xinhua lapped up the discovery.
The Forestry Department of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province released one image.
