Freeper knowingly forges bogus Kerry/Fonda pic for media circulation

[Loonman]

Quasi-criminal action from the freepers.

Here's the pic:

Aparently, lead freep in charge of lying to the media, Kristinn, was on the phone to all the media outlets the classless freepers sent the photo to, yesterday.

1. THIS is news....

because it shows the lengths the RW will go to to smear someone.

However, I saw a thread there last night and everyone chastised the guy (who remained unrepentant) that did the Photoshop job. Apparently the media was ready to run with this big time today until they were notified it was a fake.

The other photo that circulated this week really seems to be no big deal as it shows simply that Kerry was at the same rally as Fonda and sitting a couple of rows behind and to the right of her. Big deal. There were probably some White House neocons at the same rally.

2. And Newsmax put it up on their website for some time yesterday.

Horrible. :(

3. What is Quasi-criminal?

People post crap on the internet all the time. Newsmax was the one who screwed up by taken it as fact without verifying it.

5. Passing something off as an AP photo is forgery

Forgery is a crime.

4. Yeah, the guy who heads the Freep Chapter in DC is a real piece of work

He's the guy who insulted a Clinton staffer at the WH who was with his young daughter at the time, during the height of the Lewinsky scandal.

Newsmax is far froma reliable source, but you knew that.

7. What is disturbing

Is that the photo-shop equivalent in journalism is widely pervaded with prejudice.

8. The photo hit the news. We need to take action!

The Note reported that there is a new photo with them closer together (and described this photo).

The New York Times also reported on the photo as well as MSNBC.

We need to email the media and let them know this photo is fake and was faked on purpose by a conservative. Email them the link to the freeper link.

Let's do this!

So this was forged by a freeper, eh? Well, then, someone needs to go to jail.

12. Snopes has already debunked that fake picture.

Snopes has made the Freepers look like monkeys, again.

14. I saw one of Kerry in front of

the North Vietnamese flag that had been photoshopped. They are pathetic and desparate.
