Burning TiresWhat do you think this is a picture of?

  1. The wreckage of an Israeli jet shot down by Hizballah.
  2. A medium range ground-to-ground missile launcher hidden in a large Hizballah truck — which has just been bombed by an Israeli jet.

According to the editors at US News and World Report and Time Magazine, it’s Option #1.

According to the man who took the photos (Bruno Stevens) and who provided those same editors with a factual caption of the photo he submitted to them — the answer is Option #2.

Who do you believe?

Charles at LGF thinks “we’re not going to believe this one”:

The anti-Israel bias of mainstream media has never been revealed more nakedly; the editors who selected this photograph deliberately changed the caption to convey an anti-Israel message, throwing the truth right out the window to do it.

And even more damning is the photo they chose not to publish, showing a medium range ground-to-ground missile launcher hidden in a civilian truck—on a Lebanese Army base.

Uh…actually, Charles…as often as shit like this happens, it’s quite easy to believe.

Dan at Riehl World View: “Well, what would you expect from a magazine which had both Stalin and Hitler as persons of the year?”
