Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters, from MediaMatters for America
Summary: During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head.This is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. Click through to see the pictures. You won't believe it.

This is outrageous. Have you been listening to some of the things Steve Doocy has been saying on the air lately? How can they continue to be on the air and discussing the "news?"

Wow. I wonder when they are going to give Kucinich some bigger elf ears.
The one on Reddicliffe isn't even good in the high-res - I can see all of the smudging and airbrushing that was done to move the hairline.
Fox News is what happens when you give people with the temperament of bratty seven-year olds a national media outlet. I imagine calling Sen. Feingold or Gen. Clark a "doodie-head" is not far off.

If you want to know what kind of person Steve Doocy is, just look at his son. The kid's got "fratty douche" written all over him.

Well, all brothers are not douches, nor all douches brothers. However, I don't have much affection for the combination.

What's saddest is the terrible photoshopping job that they did. It's not that hard to do very subtle but unfavorable photoshopping of a picture to make someone look tired or old, but this is just comically poor quality.

"comically poor quality."

Ridiculous and stupid, AND they did a terrible job! I bet even I could do better than that.

Unreal - but yet suprisingly believable. I put absolutley nothing past Faux news. nothing.
