More Fony Fotos From Reuters Fabulist

Adnan Hajj appears to have had a number of tricks up his slippery sleeve.  This latest one courtesy of Power Line.

Add that to the two previous fakeries debunked by Jawa and LGF, and Reuters begins to look like an almost willing stooge in the "journalist's" inventive spree.

For their part, Reuters, quick to label Hajj a freelancer, has pulled all of his hundreds of photos from its database.  Just, you know, as a precaution.

Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer from its database on Monday after an urgent review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and the armed group Hizbollah.

Global Picture Editor Tom Szlukovenyi called the measure precautionary but said the fact that two of the images by photographer Adnan Hajj had been manipulated undermined trust in his entire body of work.

"There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image," Szlukovenyi said in a statement.

"Reuters has zero tolerance for any doctoring of pictures and constantly reminds its photographers, both staff and freelance, of this strict and unalterable policy."
