Reuters Photo Fraud - Surprise?

News giant, Reuters are currently on the run after a story on a blog, little green footballs, outted the media monolith for faking and digitally enhancing some of the photos that they distribute. Now under heavy investigation, Reuter’s photographer Adnan Hajj, has been found to stage photographs as well as digitally edit them to appeal to western society.

To make matters worse, other pictures from Reuters are now under scrutiny, as it would appear that Adnan Hajj isn’t the only person to touch up his pictures. Numerous web sites are covering the story, though I somehow doubt that it will make mainstream news - a case of the media censoring the media’s censoring, so to speak.
