Lou Grant must be spinning in his grave about now. Well, he would if he was real. And if he was dead.

Please note that I am referring to the character, and not the actor, Ed Asner. Ed, as a card carrying Liberal probably beleives that any manipulation of the madia to expose the evils of Republicans is justified.

Those paragons of virtue, journalists, have been caught manipulating photos before. Reuters fired a photographer who was a little overzealous in using the Clone Stamp in photoshop:

A news story linked from Fark reported on a news photographer who tweaked the color of a photo of a fireman silouhetted by the rising sun and smoke from a fire. He made the brown smoke red. He got fired.

I wonder if anyone will get fired for this?
