Photo Fibs

Hey-- Check this out. Thought it was pretty interesting.

Naturally, this is a media posting like any other. As much as I might want to believe it I guess you can never really know how honest it is. What I don't like about it is his tone of voice-- it's very cynical, don't you think?

One thing I can say is that I saw that picture from the cover of that magazing-- the one with the tires burning-- in a recent Time magazine, captioned:

"BLACK AND BLUE The wreckage of a downed israeli jet that was targeting Hizballah trucks billows smoke behind a Hizballah gunman in Kfar Chima, near Beirut. Jet fuel set the surrounding area ablaze"

See, that video thing quoted the magazine saying that it was a picture of an Israeli jet, but the actual Time article clearly stated that it's the "surrounding area", so it does make sense for it to be a garbage dump. On the other hand, Time said that the smoke was from the jet-- does anyone know if fuel smoke is really that black? Because I know that tire smoke is...

Anyway, no Israeli jets were downed.
