The Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung used photoshop to create a different scene about the invasion of Syria by the western gangs disguised as rebels.

I can imagine way too many of these photos been changed by photoshop to create a different image on peoples brain.

Well ofcourse, how dare Syria a country that doesn't bend backwards to the puppeteers of the world, as it had no place for strings...have been debt free all along? no they will destroy it from the inside, as what has already happened, and from the outside via the media as with this picture, and the many questionable videos 'showing the fighting'...a la 'blair witch project' style....sigh.

thank you for this Seko!

This helped me remember that what we see isn't all real. Very simple statement but yet so true.

Sad how the news is invented to get the right reaction from people. This is the best reason to question what comes out of Lame Stream. Even German ones....

Haha...yes, that actually happenend in my country a couple of days ago, what a shame.
The original photo was published on the 26th of July by the European Pressphoto Agency and stupid "Kronen Zeitung" used the same one with different background
just 2 days later. I mean how stupid can you be? The "Kronen Zeitung" doesnt have the best reputation in Austria, but unfortunately the most readers.
The boss of the newspaper defended himself by saying that they used photoshop as an "journalistic device"!

For sure it will make people think about this kind of journalism and newspaper coverage, so good that it happened!

Hey Zampano, the correct term he should have used was "creative license..." which means they have free reign over the news and photos....
Journalistic device..... LMAO!

It sounds like, I can tell you lies and I don't care if you realize about it.

Makes you want to turn off the tv faster, doesn't it? If they're going to make up stuff or exaggerate, then why bother listening to it?
