Newsbusters has a great roundup on Fauxtography
Scroll down on this page for more on Fauxtography including videos of Ace and Charles Johnson on Fox News the other day, an “Osgood File” that’s a must hear, and other commentary.
Thanks 
for making us the Website of the Day!
Please have a look around and leave a comment or two.
Jim at Gateway Pundit has some new pics from the Old Gray Lady showing a poor guy helping out the photographer, then suddenly, he’s dead in the wreckage!
So, all together now, how dead was he?
Link to the NYT story go down to numbers 14 and 15.
Not very.
Charles Johnson coined a new term which is just perfect: Fauxtography.
The Times issued this correction:
A picture caption with an audio slide show on July 27 about an Israeli attack on a building in Tyre, Lebanon, imprecisely described the situation in the picture. The man pictured, who had been seen in previous images appearing to assist with the rescue effort, was injured during that rescue effort, not during the initial attack, and was not killed.
The correct description was this one, which appeared with that picture in the printed edition of The Times: After an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building in Tyre, Lebanon, yesterday, one man helped another who had fallen and was hurt.
Charles Johnson on Dayside.

This clip contains the “four hands” at the pipeline that was referred to in Ace’s video.
The 8:25 am version of the Osgood File this morning with Dave Ross was somewhat surprising.
You can listen to it and read the transcript here.
He discusses the innocents who are being hurt and that they have some responsibility for what is happening.
Listen and read.

Referencing my article below, here’s another crime that won’t be classified as terrorism (and probably shouldn’t be) and it also won’t be classified as a “hate” crime (as was the crime committed by Naveed Afzal Haq in Seattle).
I agree with Betsy wholeheartedly about the classification of “hate” crimes. How does it make an assault or a murder more of an assault or a murder?
Person A kills Person B.
Scenario 1: Person A is a wife who just can’t stand her husband anymore. She’s really mad because he will not put the seat back down and he never picks up his dirty under shorts. She “hates” him.
Scenario 2: Person “A” is a member of one religious or ethnic group. Person “B” is member of another religious or ethnic group. Person A “hates” all persons of Person B’s religious or ethnic group.
Person B is just as dead. Murder one is murder one.
As Betsy says, “Why should motive (apart from self-defense) make a murder more or less heinous?”
Terrorism isn’t terrorism when a Naveed Afzal Haq is charged with a hate crime for killing and wounding Jews at a Jewish center in Seattle. This after he announced, “I’m a Muslim American; I’m angry at Israel,”

Terrorism isn’t terrorism when the Deputy Secretary of the UN, Mark Malloch Brown, says
that he does not think that Hezbollah, the Syrian- and Iranian-backed group currently fighting Israeli Defense Forces, is a terrorist organization.
“It’s not helpful to couch this war in the language of international terrorism. Hezbollah employs terrorist tactics; it is an organization, however, whose roots historically are completely separate and different from Al Qaeda,” [emphasis mine] he said, according to a transcript of an interview.
And I think therein lies the problem. The press and the left seem to think that it’s terrorism only if Al Qaeda is involved. If Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Ladin aren’t involved, if Osama Bin Ladin isn’t pulling the strings or sending out the orders, then it isn’t terrorism. The press and the left had a very hard time even considering that Zarqawi was Al Qaeda in Iraq (because Al Qaeda has nothing to do with Iraq dontcha know).
Somehow, the word terrorism for the left and the press is narrowly defined and limited to Al Qaeda. That needs to be changed. Terrorism knows no particular ideology or ethnic background. Currently the main force of terrorism is Islamofascists, but there are others. MS-13 comes to mind as one (see Michelle Malkin’s coverage of this group).
Thanks to Hang Right Politics for pointing me to the Malloch Brown story.
