It's been cropped.

Unless you can produce more credible examples, I will be closing this thread

 

[Richard Gilmore]

i think they changed the colour of his blood slightly as well!

 

[Lipin]

Lol they obviously cropped out the knife to keep promoting the myth that all on board were peace activists and humanitarians.

 

[Richard Gilmore]

Shut the fuck up you steaming pile of dogshit

You: 'Oh look 1 (clean) knife, that's irrefutable evidence that everyone on the flotilla was a terrorist OH HOLY FUCK Reuters cropped it out!!!!!1111111'

Rational People: 'No'

 

[Lipin]

Because anyone has said everyone on board was a terrorist.

Only an ignorant, manipulated idiot wouldn't be a little suspicious about the coincidence of cropping out knives in two seperate photos. A transparent medi outlet would be more inclined to point out the knives rather than crop them out.

The strategic cropping of photos is a legitimate issue to discuss, much more so than many of the other threads that get allowed to fester in NCAP.

Many OPs make a mistake in the thread title. Sure it wasn't doctored, but it still raises a significant issue.

 

[Kwayera]

The OP implied doctoring as in significant deceitful manipulation of a photograph. While cropping is indeed an issue, it kind of doesn't apply here.

Yeah you just repeated what I said.

I'd say about half the thread titles in NCAP are poorly thought out but you don't threaten them all with deletion.

People understand what the OP meant once they read the thread, and the thread does raise an interesting point.

Ugh whatever, carry on, clearly you don't see a difference between doctoring and cropping.

[SylviaB]

the fact is that they changed the image in order to be deceitful, "doctoring" or not

By your reasoning, we shouldnt trust you, since you wear a jockstrap and not underwear, rendering your "HUGE packet" invalid.
