CNET has a gallery of pictures up that serve as a reminder that our news is always filtered, scrubbed, embellished, buffed and sweetened.  It’s a whole series of pictures that have appeared in the media and news that have since been proven to be altered.  This provides some nice depth to the recent story about a Reuters photographer who (very poorly) added some touches to a picture he took.  In this case the end result is almost laughable once you notice the problem. 

So, as usual, the moral of the story is:  If you are going to lie, be sure you don’t suck at lying.
