Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters
Summary: During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head.
On the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.
After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.
Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further.

Similarly, a comparison of the photo of Reddicliffe used by Fox News and the original photo suggests that Reddicliffe's teeth have been yellowed, dark circles have been added under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back.

Link has the photos and transcript, I figured it was rude to steal bandwidth and post the images here.
Wow, this is just internet troll poser bitch level here.

Fox didn't even bother to do a good job on the fakes. They look like cartoon caricatures but with actual faces. The second photo even has a smeared forehead.
It's such a shame that we've become locked in such a cycle that liberals won't be surprised, conservatives won't know it's happening, and therefore nothing will change.

That was the idea. A pathetically childish act, making the one look apparently like a neanderthal and the other sort of like the Frankenstein monster.
But then, considering that the target audience are Rush's legions of mouth-breathing Ditto-Borg, it's about the "standard" you can expect from FoxNazi.

I know they were going for the caricature look, I'm just surprised they did such a bad job of that since the two photos are very obviously photoshopped.
I thought this was standard practice for Fox Nazi News already?
Is it any wonder that it's practically impossible to find Fox News outside of America? (even North Korea would probably consider their coverage to be way over the top).
Turns out that a five way cross over between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Ali G Show, Fargo, Idiocracy and Veep is a lot less funny when you're actually living in it.
North Korea photoshops it's own villages... but photoshopping people to look ugly... I doubt I ever saw that anywhere sans the internet troll-boards.

Anyone who subscribes for cable in Australia gets it straight up.
I love the smell of September in the morning. Once we got off at Richmond, walked up to the 'G, and there was no game on. Not one footballer in sight. But that cut grass smell, spring rain...it smelt like victory.

What makes you think that? I had Fox News for quite some time and there are still cable TV providers here which includes FOX News (but often shared with another channel).

Scrap that. I checked to make sure and it's no longer available here in Scandinavia.
Yeah it's horribly immature, but part of me finds this funny as Hell, simply cause...i dunno, it's just weird. I mean it's just so out of left field, that makes it kind of humorous in the randomness of it all. To me anyway.
Part of that is also, i actually am surprised this time. I mean i'd have expected them to shop a picture of Iraqis eating a baby or something, but this seems so just random. I have half a mind to suspect this was all some joke they were ALL in on, i mean it's not, but it's just THAT out of whack.
Well it worked for Charles Foster Kane, why not Rupert Murdock.
think about it, they've got yellow journelism of the 19th and early 20th centuries down, add in the propaganda bombardment of a Leni Refienstal production, and the maturity of 4CHAN (Which might explain why FOX has such a hatred of 4CHAN people might see the site and realize where FAUX is stealing ideas from)

Well, it's not the first time they'd have shopped things of people they didn't like. But I'm not sure if there's ever been such a blatant example as this. Usually it's just really tiny shit like labeling a Republican who's out of favor with their party (D) instead of (R) on the info box at the bottom of the screen.
