dear moron: it's a political news monitor that is precisely NOT presenting ANYTHING as "hard news"... take your head out of your own sphincter...

anyow, Yahoo hasn't replaced the photos at all... take a closer look at the montage, genius... you can actually scroll through it...

this is too easy...

Dear moron? Getting a touch personal nor aren't we.

..... but your right ThinkProgress doesn't present their site as HARD NEWS, only you do, linking to it in headline format the same way the rest of us link to traditional sources.

Yahoo reordered the pictures, and changes the caption (my initial link goes to another photo now). Equally dishonest.

now, if you'd like, we can discuss much, more documented evidence of soldiers killing civilians, and you can get back to denying it ever happened and suggesting anyone against the war is "with the terrorists"...

NO, we just expect the reporter to actually know what a fired bullet looks like. That is absolutely the most dishonest piece of reporting. When the bullet is still in the casing, and is in prefect condition, it has never been fired. It is that simple.

What about the fact, that this same photographer, and this same Iraqi women, has made the same claims a few months ago?????????????????

"which she says hit her house "

it's up to the reader to decide if the woman is full of sh!t... not to pretend the media is altering the news with pretentious headlines like "Most dishonest NEWS REPORTING ......... Evah" ... more like the most childish blogging ever...

i give Yahoo credit... the chickenhawks don't want 298+ images of the carnage over there to catch the eyes of the average american... they'll do whatever they can to distort the role of the media... even if they have to intentionally misrepresent what a photo caption actually says...

Are you serious? That's ridiculous. So basically you're saying a media person can print and post whatever they want, regardless of it's legitimacy, cuz it's up to the layman to figure out if he wants to believe it or not.

Your reasoning here is some of the more ridiculous I've ever heard. So Dan Rather & CBS weren't really at fault for Rathergate since the person who provided them with the forged documents and information was the one "claiming" them to be true, and CBS was just reporting it. The viewer was responsible for believing what was true. Gotcha.

Yeah we have no idea how a liberal newsroom works. We actually expect a reporter and an editor to check to see if a slanderous story is factual or not.

The liberal agenda works on the basis of an agenda, facts and checking out the veracity of a story is irrelevant.

PC's POV makes sense when he uses Think Progress as his principal news source.

To be fair, this happens on all sides of the isle.
