The new media has once again found its niche - fisking the main stream media - and this time its international. Many bloggers have discovered photoshopped, staged or inaccurately annotated photographs in the recent 'news' coverage of the Hizbollah/Israel wars. Bloggers were all over this like a pack of old media journalists. At what point is the responsibility to have parallel reporting rather than just critiquing others? Does the MSM have the ability or desire to reform? Can AverageGuy ever trust another photograph? Could we (new and/orMSM) develop systems to ensure the veracity of what we are seeing? Would more transparency help?

Come now. What good are a bunch of guys in their pajamas against the multiple levels of checks and balances found in professional newsrooms?
The Mainstream Media is finally picking up on this story. They should have been all over it immediately. In fact, they should have created it.
