RANT #1- Yet another reason to not watch Fox "news":
In effort to demonize their critics, Fox News manipulated head shots of NY Times reporter
Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe.
Which part of the world do these guys look like they're from in the "demonized" version? You guessed it! The mideast.
RANT #2 - Getty Images photojournalist Brent Stirton said in a CNN interview that the Virunga mountain gorilla slaughter is the "most sobering" tragedy he's ever witnessed in Africa. Are you kidding me? I'm all for wildlife protection, but I'm pretty sure the millions of starving people dying from AIDS in war-ravaged "countries" would beg to differ with you Stirton.
RANT #3 - According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 129 journalists have been killed in the five-year Iraq war. Not to mention the 5,000ish American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Iraq has been named the most dangerous place to report from. Partly because reportage, visual and otherwise, is being censored by Uncle Sam.
