When faked pictures do not matter either..

Here's some fauxtography that Charles Johnson didn't (and probably will never) report about:

Papers alter Israel cabinet photo

Two ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspapers have altered a photo of Israel's new cabinet, removing two female ministers.

Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver were grouped with the rest of the 30-member cabinet for their inaugural photo.

But Yated Neeman newspaper digitally changed the picture by replacing them with two men. The Shaa Tova newspaper blacked the women out.

Publishing pictures of women is viewed by many ultra-orthodox Jews as a violation of female modesty.

Other Israeli papers reprinted the altered images next to the original photos, with one headlining it "Find the lady".

The ultra-Orthodox community separates itself from mainstream society through its traditional religious practices and distinctive attire of black hats, coats and sidelocks for the men and long skirts and sleeves for the women.

Restrictions include using only Kosher telephones, and not accessing websites with content deemed inappropriate.

CJ on Gaza: Grasping at Straws

There's true desperation at LGF, where the lizards are in full denial mode about the killing of over 100 Palestinian civilians in Israel's attack on Gaza. It's not true, they rant, in the face of all available evidence.

Wait! All evidence? No! CJ&Co have dug up two pictures that might or might not be staged. It's hard to tell. But surely this is evidence that all those reports of civilian casualties are anti-Israel lies, no?

Meanwhile, don't expect Charles to run a "work accident" headline about the three IDF soldiers who were killed by a round from one of their own tanks. He reserves that kind of Shadenfreunde for the subhumans Palestinians.

LGF fauxtography?

In a post about the attempted breaking of the Gaza embargo by former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Charles Johnson links to and quotes from an article on the Atlanta Constitution Journal website.

However, the picture he uses alongside the cited article _ and inside his "quote" tags _ is not used on the AJC site.

Is CJ trying to pass the photo (a rather unflattering one) off as the work of the AJC, when in actual fact he added it?

Fauxtography?

Here's one case of photo manipulation that Charles might just ignore:

Row over altered US Army photo

Fauxtography?

Sadly, no! It's just straight up Wingnut stupidity.

Oh and here's a bit of revisionism from Chuckles.
