This photo was doctored before it was posted to Reuters. What ever happened to journalistic integrity!? UPDATE: Rueters has retracted the story and the photo with an apology, so they confirmed that the photo was doctored.

I'm confused, these photos were probably taken at different times/angles, what's the problem?

The one on top is CLEARLY photoshopped, you people can't see that? Looks like the stamp tool... but why?

Because the doctored photo contians more "smoke," presumably for the purpose of trying to make a bad situation look even worse. Plumes of smoke in the doctored photo have repeated billow patterns that were done with the clone stamp tool. They also turned up the color saturation to make the smoke darker (maybe.) My best guess as to why they did this is because in the News buisness they like to say "the redder the better." Redder referring to the blood and violence in a story.

Also, they added more buildings in too. I understand the point of adding more smoke (because they're trying to make the bombings look more serious than they were) but why more UNDAMAGED buildings? Are they trying to make Beirut look more densly populated!?

i remember when the Saddam statue fell and the newspaper ran photoshopped images to make the crowd look bigger. yep, this probably happens more than a lot of people think it does.
