Fox News airs apparently altered photos

NEW YORK -- The Fox News channel gained wide attention Thursday in the
blogosphere for airing photos of two New York Times staffers that appear to
have been doctored to portray them in an unflattering light.

The photos depict New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg with yellowed
teeth, "his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further,"
according to a statement Thursday by Media Matters for America. The other
image, of Times television editor Steven Reddicliffe, with similar yellow
teeth, as well as "dark circles ... under his eyes, and his hairline has been
moved back," according to the Media Matters statement.

The photos appear to have been flattened or extended using Photoshop tools.

Fox News claims to be "fair and balanced", but apparently they don't care
about being honest.

Faux "News" is neither fair, nor balanced.

Fox must've hired May Mapes or John Murtha. That's the only possible
explanation.

Christ. Next there will be evidence that Michelle Malkin and LGF isn't
objective. Can the right trust no one?
