Fox News photoshops pictures of NY Times reporters

QuoteOn the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.
After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.
Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further.

I think the blur marks on his forehead, as well as the poor burn effect under the eyes makes this look so unreal its pitiful. Its called a rubber stamp tool, I'm surprised they don't know what it is.

You seriously care about a channel you don't watch?

I thought the point of the joke fox was trying to make is that it's really exaggerated.

Roman Collar Clock · July 03, 2008, 02:08:40 PM

Steinberg...he's Jewish!!!

What is scary is that people actually seriously watch Fox News and will be dumb enough to take everything they say as fact.
I mean seriously, canÂ´t something be done about Fox?

Surely you canÂ´t piss on journalism forever and get away with it...can you?
